G'day

The URL is: http://www.flinders.edu.au/
We have tested the page on all available browser/system setups without a hitch, but we periodically receive emails from people complaining about “tiny” font sizes.

Problem is caused by this line to start off with:

font: normal 0.75em/127% Verdana, Arial, sans-serif, Tahoma

MSIE does not like the "base" font set in em (and 0.75em is quite tiny in itself).

Suggest you set it in percentage. Best to use 76% or perhaps something a bit bigger (I tend to use 83%).
