Font Problems...

Hi all!

Ok I never thought I would have to post such a newbie kind of question but I am stumped and can find nothing on the net.

I'm re-vamping all of my sites while I have this impromptu break. For some reason when I test them in IE, the font has gone HAYWIRE! It's got to be twice as big as the last time I checked them or anytime before. The text won't even fit in my tables anymore. Arrggghh.

First Question...why would this suddenly happen?

Second...Besides doing everything over by either reducing the text size (it looks shitty enough in netscape as is) and/or re-do using CSS which would probably give it more stability, but still a huge project...what can be done?

Even if the text size is at 3, it still looks like a 4 or larger. I drop it down to 2 and it looks like a bold 3 and is still too large, not to mention very small on netscape. If I drop it down to 1, it looks half way decent (go figure a 1 for text and not a footer?) but my netscape users would have to break out a magnifying glass to read anything.

I am so stumped as to why this happened all of a sudden. I have made no changes in my puters fonts, res or preferences in any way.
I have went over the code with a fine tooth comb for renegade font tags, etc. and can find nothing.

Sorry for the long post guys. I'm starting to panic that I may have to completely re-do my sites (if I even figure out the problem) and that is no easy task.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

April
