You shouldn't be developing a menu using Solpart menu, it has been said many times Solpart is depricated/retired and is no longer in development.  It is included in DNN 5 still, as I understand, only to give "grandfather clause" support to old skins that used Solpart for the menu provider.   DNN Nav Menu is the recommended menu provider for new skins as it is being developed, or the use of a third provider that is keeping current with DNN core happenings.

That said, if you absolutely must use Solpart menu (and potentially have unfixable bugs or serious incompatibility issues with DNN) then you need to set the default font size for the menu wrapper.  I had this problem in IE7 quite a while ago and took to adding this in the skin.css file to fix the problem:

#dnn_dnnSOLPARTMENU_ctldnnSOLPARTMENU

{font-size: 1px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; vertical-align: top;}

Then you just need to make sure you are setting font-sizes to a readable size in the appropriate menu item classes.

Were I you, though, I'd switch over to using DNN Nav and save yourself the problem of having to convert it over later anyway.  Though, I suppose if you are skinning for a very old DNN installation, you may not have a choice but to either use Solpart or upgrade the DNN installation to a current version, in which case the DNN upgrade would again be the better choice...

If it's JUST IE8 that's having the issue, you can force it into IE7 Compatibility mode by using the following meta tag:

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" >

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc288325%28VS.85%29.aspx

However, like has been stated previously, developing with SolPart right now is a big gamble as it will eventually be phased out. If the DNNNav object doesn't work for you either, you may want to look into a 3rd party solution like HouseMenu or the DNN360 Navigation Suite.

Good Luck!
