Flawed markup in header. A span is not an empty, self-closing, element,
and, unlike most other browsers, IE can't treat it as if it was and
recover from this flaw.
The result is that "font-size: 20pt" is applied to all text following
the header in IE/win, apart from the headlines that have font-size
defined in the stylesheet. 20pt is indeed quite large.
This is flawed...
<p><strong><span style="font-size: 20pt"><span style="color:
rgb(255,255,255)" /></span></strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: 20pt"><span style="color:
rgb(255,255,255)" /></span></strong><span style="font-size: 20pt" /></p>
</div>
...and should be corrected to this...
<p><strong><span style="font-size: 20pt"><span style="color:
rgb(255,255,255)"></span></span></strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: 20pt"><span style="color:
rgb(255,255,255)"></span></span></strong><span style="font-size:
20pt"></span></p>
</div>
The HTML validator doesn't flag the error because it checks the markup
as if it was properly served XHTML - following XML rules where such
self-closing of most elements is allowed. IE/win doesn't support
properly served XHTML and has no idea about such rules, and your
document isn't properly served XHTML anyway - it is HTML.
Note that once the markup flaws are corrected, all font-sizes you have
defined in pixels in the stylesheets kicks in. This means IE/win can't
resize the text.
