    Because you first tested in Internet Explorer. Never, ever trust IE to do anything right while Firefox is showing what you wrote. But, without a link or the complete markup, any reason for this would only be a wild guess.

    As expected, you will never get IE to attempt to perform like any other far more modern browser, such as Firefox, without a required doctype. Add this to your first line and see where we stand:
    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

    I went off on a tangent when I saw you had no doctype and lost focus on you're asking about the fonts. Your fonts are set in a mixed method of keywords and points. Keywords are relative to whatever the browser sets the font size to and it's been so long since I used them I don't recall all the problems with that except to notice that you only use x-small and small. But those are x-small and small'er compared to what? Points (pt) are print values not intended for the web so the whole thing is a mash-up not designed to work together. It's not that Firefox or IE are doing it wrong but they are making the font sizes relative to whatever the font is at that point and obviously they're different.

    What you should do is go through the css and set the values yourself to something using px and what you want. Much of your markup is invalid or deprecated, too, btw, and you probably saw some messing around when you introduced the doctype.
