font problem in Internet Explorer

I don’t think this is a theme issue actually – things look just as bad in the default theme. The only significant thing I’ve done recently is upgrade (both WordPress and Mandigo), so I’m wondering if this is actually a WP 2.6.2 issue?

Have you tried HTML and CSS validation. Also, check font size setting in browser.

the only cdd controlling that font size is this, near the top of your style.css:

body {
	font-size: 62.5%; /* Resets 1em to 10px */
	font-family: Arial, Sans-Serif;
	color: #333;
}

remove that, and it goes big in FF.

try adding this:

.postinfo p {
	font-size: 62.5%; /* Resets 1em to 10px */
	font-family: Arial, Sans-Serif;
	color: #333;
}

Also, check font size setting in browser.

I see it in my ie. thats not the problem.

Have you tried HTML and CSS validation

There’s nothing wrong with either of those.

so I’m wondering if this is actually a WP 2.6.2 issue?

no. its not.

whooami – thanks so much for your help – I really appreciate your time. However, unfortunately it didn’t work! Your addition is still in there, and the site looks pretty much as it did.

I’m not very knowledgable in this area – but wouldn’t that code only affect paragraphs? My text is all wrong, menus and everything.

redspiral – yes, no errors!

Any more help very gratefully received – am pulling my hair out on this one!

not sure what else to suggest.
hopefully there is someone else out there with more css knowledge.
good luck.

johyde,
please, don’t double and triple post.

Did you try deactivating all your plugins?

moshu,

I apologize – desperation made me more pushy than I should be!

Anyway, many thanks for your response. I feel like a complete noob for not doing that anyway. Thanks to you I’ve nailed down the culprit – the ‘collapsing pages’ plugin.

Such a relief to get it sorted – thanks again.

You could have found it… Looking at your source code there was a conditional stylesheet for IE inserted by that plugin, and in it something like “font-size: 100%”. That’s how I came up with my question ??

I think you may be underestimating what a noob I am.. ??

So, do you think I could re-instate the plug-in if I removed that line, or something?

If not I can live without it I guess!
