Hi Eric,
Thanks for posting!
It appears that you have 2 questions currently.
1. IE 6.0 issue.
2. OE 6.0 issue.
I would follow the first question here. I noticed that you have opened a
new post in OE thread 29522649. As for the second one, I have replied you
in thread 29522649.
Based on my research, The font style and font size is decided by the style
sheet if there is any in the page. If there is no style set inside the
page, the default setting will be used. The default font style is set by
Tools/Internet Options/General tab, click Fonts/Web page font. The default
size is determined by View->Text size, the default IE's setting is
medium(12). You can change it and the change will stay for all other IE
instances.
Inside the page, you can set the style for the body by using inline style
or using style sheet as follows:
<BODY style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial;">
Hope the information helps. If there is anything that is unclear, please
feel free to let me know.
Thanks & Regards,
Jason Tan

Note that there is a difference between the page specifying no font (in
which case IE will use the user-specified default font, just as you have
said), and the page specifying a generic CSS font (in which case IE will
arbitrarily pick a font, ignoring the user-specified font).
With CSS there is a set of generic fonts, i.e. serif, sans-serif,
cursive, fantasy, and monospace. IE chooses which fonts it will use for
these 5 generic fonts: with IE the user has no say in which fonts are
used; with other browsers the user can choose.
For example, if IE decides that it should use the generic CSS sans-serif
font (e.g. because the page uses the CSS "font-family:sans-serif;") IE
will use whatever font it has chosen as the generic sans-serif font:
usually it is a sensible choice, but I have observed that sometimes IE
picks a font that is wildly inappropriate. When this happens I have
found it useful to uninstall the font that IE has picked, let IE pick
another font (which is typically sensible), then re-install the
inappropriate font.

Where can you locate which fonts that IE has chosen for it's CSS choices? I
am having a problem with a system not rendering the fonts in the correct
size on web sites. I have checked all of the accessibility and text sizing
options from the tool bar and all is normal there. I would like to see what
fonts IE has selected to see if that is the culprit.

I know no way of identifying the 5 fonts other than looking at the fonts
displayed -- preferably large versions of the fonts -- and comparing
them to fonts actually installed.
