Font rendering differently in IE and FF

[programmerboy]

In my website fonts look way clear and nice in IE 7 than they do look in IE 8 or FireFox. I dont understand the reason why they are more bold in FF although I am using the same stylesheet for both IE and FF. Has anyone ever faced this issue? Also, padding is slightly different in FireFox. Is there a way to fix this issue of fonts rendering?

The last thing you should be doing is comparing how anything happens in IE to the way it happens in all other browsers. Use a standards compliant browser (FF, Opera, Chrome) and get your site looking correct in them first. Then, worry about IE if you want/need to.
