No, no, and no...
No, there are no conditional stylesheets attached yet, I haven't started IE bug fixing yet... I haven't done any styling that should NEED bug fixing yet! If you don't know a specific bug that does this, I have to assume there is an issue with my xhtml, but I don't see how yet. I'll keep checking. I'll also download the IE Developer Toolbar and see what that thing is all about. I never used it before.
Thanks!

Arial Black
For some reason on my system IE7 displays 'Arial Black' in Italics. Weird. Probably an issue with my system, I'm guessing, not IE... then again, Firefox and Safari display Arial Black just fine. The IE DevBar listed the font-style as none, so there is no styling on it. When I switch to plain old Arial, it displays normally, same with Tahoma. That is just too wierd. I wonder if my Arial Black file is corrupted. Weird. Any other ideas?

Answer
I looked in my font folder, and I had a TrueType Arial Black Italic and an OpenType Arial Black. For some reason known only to the IE gremlins, IE was selecting the Arial Black Italic instead of it's Open Type Companion... even though the Arial Black was explicitly selected:
h1 {
text-transform: uppercase;
font-family: 'Arial Black', 'Gadget', 'Impact', 'Charcoal', sans-serif;
font-weight: bold;
font-style:normal;
font-size: 3em;
margin: 0 0 0 0;
padding: 30px 0 30px 25px;
}When I removed the truetype font from the fonts folder, it correctly selected the opentype font.
Weird. have I said that yet?

Hey guys,
For some reason, IE7 is rendering all my header tags as italics. I have a reset at the beginning of my style sheet, and it specifically sets all my headers as font-style:normal. Nothing in my style sheet sets oblique or italicized headers. FF3 renders it fine. This is on my local machine, so I can't give you a link, but I'm pretty sure at this point the problem is not with my code.
Is there a fix for this that I've never heard of?
Blessings,
Tony
