IE resizing my text?

I know this isn't a problem with coding because the page works fine in other browsers. I have a table that has 18 cells in it and within each cell I have a picture with text under it. I have the text set at "2" Arial Bold and it looks fine when I view it in my other browser ( CompuServe :P ), but when I view it in IE the font looks like a size "5". I didn't put a +2 in for the text. Also one strange thing is that the text is only messed up on that table. Underneath that table there is the Ś News Ś Media Ś etc. type of menu. It's text stays exactly the same...So, if anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it :D

Are you using CSS at all? Either way, try changing your BODY attribute to read

<body style="font-size:100%;">

--or make the equivalent change to your CSS file. That will sometimes "normalize" IE font sizes.

I am not using CSS and that code didn't work. I still had the same problem. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

Drop the <font> tags and use a global css statement in your head, like:

<style type="text/css">
body {
font: 10px/15px arial, sans-serif;
}
</style>
