Hi,
I'm having a rather strange problem with my text - I have Arial font size 11 throughout most of my site, and wherever I have a capital 'W' at the beginning of a word, Internet Explorer chooses to not display the top left pixel or two.
This is more noticeable than it sounds - check out the image...
Has anyone else come across this? Any ideas why it might be happening and any fixes? It doesn't do it on IE on my Mac, just a PC.i have come accross this problem myself..read the following link

its an ie6 bug..i hate it...That article actually has nothing to do with your font problem. The issue comes from when the browser draws the font on screen. The "line" of the font apparently passes in between two side-by-side pixels in such a way that nothing appears. The text isn't anti-aliased. I bet if you turn on text aliasing in the Windows Display settings you would see the top part of that 'W'. I'm also pretty sure that you could see that effect in the OS somewhere too, if you set the font of, say icons, to 11pt Arial -- and kept text aliasing off.
I've noticed this before too and just chalked it up to how Windows renders certain fonts at certain sizes.Fair enough - that's a fine fix for me, but not much good for other users... Reckon I'll just have to live with it!
Thanks anyway!
