Update:

I see the font has changed on the site - but unless I'm pulling up a cached version, the source code looks the same.  Did you change it? 

I also see in your /portals/_default/default.css file, this style:

.SkinObject {
    font-weight: bold;
    font-size: 8.5pt;
    color: #003366;
    font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica;
    text-decoration: none;
}

that's Tahoma almost 9pts.  And that style might be overriding other calls to fonts in skinobjects.

So far, interesting - I'm curious as to what you changed that changed the font on the skin demo page currently.

Congratulations on fixing the problem, looks like it was a real pain.

Just a couple quick notes on some of the things I read in the thread here...

Regarding your CSS structure, I've always found best results to start off my Font-Family tags with a web-safe font like the standard Arial, Tahoma, Verdana, etc etc.  "Arial Narrow" will only be displayed properly on a small amount of computers that have this font installed, therefore to keep a consistant look I always start with fonts I know for certain will be on 90%+ of computers that view the site. Of course, as I said that's just my habit and not necissarily a dictum as to how you should code your sites.

Also, watch for leaving any tags open in any CSS, be it a linked sheet or inline STYLE attribute, I had a helluva time with a site once that turned out to be I left a margin:   open without any definition or closing ; .

Finally, when working with skinning SOLPART, I've found it easiest to leave the [MENU] tag as "naked" as possible, with as few surrounding tags as possible, then there are less possibilities of other deprecations or cascades from other defined elements.

Just my $0.02...
