IE is displaying all the text on my webpage about 1px thicker than other browsers. Applying the font-weight property does not fix this. Any idea why IE would do this? Thanks for looking.

Is clear type enabled?

Internet Options>Advanced

Uncheck 'Always use Clear Type for HTML'

Then close browser, re-open and re-navigate to page.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll check it when I get home (the problem isn't present at my current computer). But is there any way to do this in the html, so it looks the same for all visitors?

I don`t think so. Clear Type has been enabled by default since IE7.
