Topic: CSS Font in NN4.7 Mac vs PC

It has been awhile...you guys have been so kind helping me with so many things!

You convinced me to use CSS for at least text on THIS SITE.
But now I have a question, and maybe (probably) there is no solution for it, without some major browser detection etc...which I would also need major help with.

On the PC NN4.7 vs IE 5 looks fonts seem to be doing fine. On the Mac NN4.7 vs IE 5, NOT GOOD. NN is making the bigger fonts bold. Have I done something wrong, or is it just the curse of the NN on MAC?

At this point, I'm not sure it is worth messing with, but I would like to know what I could do to solve the problem.

If the only solution is browser detection, then the next question is to find a good tutorial and how to use this in these kind of situations...something very practical.

Also...if you see anyother problems, or have any other suggestions for me regarding the site, I would appreciate it. I have had lots of problems with the contact page.

This is an optional contact page that I might use as an option. In an earlier post I was asking questions about the input field between NN & IE...what a nightmare!

THX all!

e-maestro: There is no such style as:

margin-height: 0;
margin-width: 0;

see:

but I can't see anything wrong with what you've done (might be wrong).

Very nice site!

The only issue I see, beyond the contact form, where as you've found NN measures things differently, is the opening paragraph on the home page defaults to Times New Roman. NN seems to forget fonts when elements are grouped, as in your P , TABLE , TR , TD statement. Either wrapping that 'graph in <p> tags or replicating that bit of CSS for TD will fix it.

As for the work itself, I particularly like the use of traditional details within a contemporary open plan, especially in the Joe Marks Trail property. I understand clients don't always agree to it, but interior shots of the fourth and fifth properties would be nice.
