manipulating font styles seperatly

I'm using Garamond for a client's site because he requested it. The problem is, normal font styles seem to appear nicely, whereas italicized fonts appear bunched up. I solved the problem in Mozilla by using the font tag and setting the font-size higher, but it doesn't work in IE this way. Before I give up and span larger classes at the individual level, is there any way to do font style selection and manipulating those seperately? Such as setting font-size:14px for normal style fonts and setting font-size:17 for italicized fonts? Thanks!</style>
i {
font-size: 17px;
}
</style></style>
i {
font-size: 17px;
}
</style>


Read before you post, I already tried that and it didnt work in IE, only mozilla with my current css setup.It works fine for me in both FF and IE. Do you have a link where we could see an example where it does not?

And yes, I read before I posted, and it was not clear to me exactly what you tried, and since setting a different font-size for the I tag in CSS worked for me, I assumed you hadn't tried it.

BTW, an even better solution is to use a percentage size. Then it will work regardless of the current size of the containing element of the <i> text.

i { font-size: 120%; }Read before you post... You should choose your words with care, as being without any tonal inflection or visual clues, the written language can seem harsh when that was not intended. I, for instance, upon reading your response might have told you were you could shove your problem. But NogDog knew that you probably didn't mean those words to sound so strongly, and responded accordingly.

Is your client's website for internal use only? Does he understand that not all computers have Garamond installed, or the exact same named Garamond (there are many variations on the name due to the many sources of the font -- the font definition can't be copyrighted, but the name can be).
