The non-standard DPI is (99%) causing your issue – there’s not a really good way of compensating for nonstandard DPI in web design AFAIK.

Yes. Dell Optiplex 745, with a Dell 24" monitor. Resolution 1900x1200. I have my dpi setting at 125 percent of normal size. (This is with Windows XP.)
I need to use large fonts if I'm to work more than an hour a day. That's why I often remove html from peoples' e-mail messages before replying. I sometimes like to be able to read what they say.
