    O.K I am not sure that this is the problem as I don't have IE or a windows machine handy, but I guess iot is becuase you have defined the size of the fonts in pixels. Try changing to em's.

    For example, in your CSS
    
    body
    {
    font-size: 1em;
    }
    
    Code (markup):

    No, you need to use em if I undertand correctly. 1 em = your current font size, so if your font size is 24px; 1em will equal 24px.
