strange effect with new products center boxes

Wasn't sure how to search for this, or where exactly to post it, so I came here.

In IE, when you first go to my site, Ashby's On The Web, on the home page, when you look at the new products listed in the center box, you will see one type of font (the wrong font by the way). However, if you go to any other page, the font in New Products is correct. It looks fine all around in Firefox.

Can someone please take a look and suggest how to fix this?

Thanks.

Re: strange effect with new products center boxes

Unfortunately, you are not in control of what forn a browser uses to display your site

See this in your stylesheet:

font-family: lucida sans unicode, verdana, arial, helvetica,  sans-serif;

And a browser uses the fonts that are loaded on the users system and you have no control over what they might or might not have loaded.

You can try forcing this with:
#whatsNew {
font-family: arial;
}
