We've developed a DNN site and I have thrown together a few simple modules to perform some 'User Management' issues.

For the DNN site itself, I have the site skin.css defaulted to Verdana: small.  For my modules, I didn't declare a specific font or size, so it would default to the site default CSS.

Here's where it gets hairy:  On my desktop, and on my laptop at home, both the main site text (via DNN Text/HTML module) and my module fonts and sizes appear identical in both IE and FF.  BUT, on my boss's desktop, the font size between the main site (via DNN Text/HTML module) and my developed modules are different.  I have tried going in to the DNN Text/HTML module and setting a font & size for the text within that module and then setting the same font & size within my developed modules via VWD 08.  Still, for some reason, it appears different on my boss's desktop in IE.

Why is her browser handling things differently than mine and what can I do to make sure nobody else sees it like this?

Thanks in advance,

CJ

CJ, please be aware, that font appearance may vary due to individual font settings in the browser. Depending on the font size specification, text may be shown same size on all browsers or relative to default font size specified in individual browsers.

In IE, go to the VIEW menu (may have to hit the Alt key to show the menus in IE7) then Text Size then choose Medium. This is a common problem, because many people don't realize that holding down CTRL and using the Mouse Scroll Wheel changes this setting as well.
