Ryan,

My recommendation to you is to stop using Internet Explorer.  Get Firefox, www.getfirefox.com.  Once you see some web sites in Firefox, you will never go back to IE.

The site is using a very well thought out style sheet. To make the site accessible to vision impaired users, it does not use specific font sizes, rather it uses percents.  This is because IE does not allow styles to be resized with the font resize option if the style sheet has the font sizes specified.  Example: <div style="font-size: 12px;">can't resize this in IE</div>.  You can change the font size till you turn blue in IE, but that div text will never resize.  When you resize in Firefox, the text does get larger.  This is just one of the many problems with IE.

You may be semi happy to know the future IE 7 will have a zoom feature.  To overcome this, the zoom feature simply makes the viewing area of IE bigger.  I got the impression they took the easy way out.  If your having problems reading the text in the page, that does not mean you want the images and everything else to get larger.  This is just another example of how much Microsoft did not improve IE 7.

If you are a web developer, you will definitely want to use Firefox.  There is a Tidy extension which verifies your HTML for you and a Web Developer extension which works great when your trying to solve problems with your style sheets, div/span layouts, etc...

If you are a hardcore IE user, I would just make your window bigger.  That will solve the text overlay problem.
