Looks fine to me (Vista 32 Bit, IE 7 and FireFox 2.0.0.6).

You really have to determine the circumstances: what's here OS, browser
(plus versions) and any other information - it's probably a client-side
issue but may be caused by something server-side.  At the very least once
you know what client is having the problem somebody here should be able to
test with it and let you know if it's common for that client.

You are using a few non-standard fonts in your style sheet, but do provide
good degradation options so that shouldn't be a problem... but I'm not sure
how another client might react.  In general, just because of client
difference like this, it's generally not a good idea to trust CSS styling
for something as important as your main title/logo - unfortunately if you
really want to be sure that (most) everybody sees it the same way you need
to make it an image.

One last thing - you may want to test your layout on multiple browser sizes.
I tend to keep my browsers "thin" (vertically) and your site loses a lot of
fidelity: the main title is pushed over the photo and becomes unreadable;
the menu bar is forced to two lines but they overlap and become unreadable
and the "Need Help" and "News" boxes push down the main content.

Those last two aren't as big of issues (you need to get pretty thin to see
them) but the first one starts happening in as much as a 1000 pixels.
