You've raised a good issue.

I recently redesigned my blog and that included updating the typography. I decided on DroidSerifRegular for the body text. It looks beautiful on a Mac but when I previewed it on IE/Windows, it looked absolutely horrible (the lowercase a, especially). So for IE I use Georgia.

I set the body text to DroidSerifRegular on IE7 for Win and it looks fine:

Also, it looks like the bottom of the "g"'s and possibly some other characters are getting cut off. It's fixed by adjusting the font-size.

Thanks! That reminds me that it was actually the lowercase t's I had an issue with, not the lowercase a's. Notice the "inkbleed" at the bottom of the t.

Probably not the font-size, but the line-height. Narrow line heights sometimes cause text clipping.
