I've created buttons for different links on a website I am developing. I've also created a mouse-over effect. The text on the button is Tahoma for both regular and mouse-over. Neither are bolded. When I preview the fonds look fine, clean and clear. After publishing and viewing in IE8 the buttons look somewhat blurry as well as the text. The text looks almost as if it is bolded, but I checked and rechecked by settings.

Here is the site: http://www.practiceasl.galenswebsite.com

Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry, forgot to add a picture of what the buttons look like in VSD.

Galen, I checked your site against the pic you attached in IE 8 and FX and they all look identical on my pc. Maybe some else will chime in that see's what you do. I've attached a pic of what I see in FX on the left, IE in the middle and your pic on the right.

I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Buttons look fine to me as well on IE8. Did you refresh your browser window after uploading? Sometimes changes to navigation buttons take time to render from the server, a problem that drove me crazy once or twice in the past!

Have something to add? We’d love to hear it!
