  As steven said, trust Firefox and find the IE hack that possibly is making the things different for IE...
  
  Just one notes to be considered:
  * Usually you need full control of your theme CSS to find solutions to problems like this font-difference
  * You need the right tools (Firebug for FF and Webdeveloper toolbar for IE) and time to fix those details
  * CSS is a nice and pretty useful technology, learn it because Zikula will be able to use all its power
  
  So, all relies in the control of your theme.
  My recent problem was with font families between operative systems, not browsers, and in that case "Verdana,Arial,sans-serif" was the error. It must be "Verdana,sans-serif" to be rendered almost identical in Ubuntu and Windows...
  
  Good luck with that

  I'm seeing in Firebug taht I have:
  
  

  Code

  font-family:Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;

  
  
  So do I need to modify my style.css in some way to only render "Verdana,sans-serif".
  
  TIA...

  That was my case between operative systems,
  but your browser issue is completely weird.
  
  There may be a special IE hack that modifies the "Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif" for IE and mees it up...
  IF exists...

  The theme I have, has been modified from Postnuke/Autotheme to Zikula/Xanthia. So if I had a new theme built from scratch for Zikula/Xanthia I would be seeing the same result?

  Looking for Webdeveloper toolbar for IE, any idea where to download? Found a bunch of links for Non-IE.
