Hi Couscous,
Try this go to the IE Properties and on the General Tab click font and in
the Font settings Window check that these settings there:
Language Script : Latin based

Web page Font : Times New Roman

Plain Text Font : Courier New and click OK to confirm the settings
Click Ok to close and Reboot and see if the issue will resolve.
If no Joy here some similar issue like yours solved in different way:

I found the problem...it had nothing to do with IE.

After looking at the webpages that were displaying italics closer I noticed
that they were all set Arial on the font..so the problem was Windows was
substituting something else for the font that should be displayed..basic
Arial.

I changed the entries here:
HKLM/software/Microsoft/WindowsNT/CurrentVersion/FontSubstitutes/

To match my other machine for the Arial fonts, and all is well.

I have fixed my problem (well, my boyfriend did!) The basic arial trutype
font was completely deleted from my font file hence getting arial only in
italics or bold so we just copied it from his computer into my font file and
now everything is back to normal :)

Hope this helps

Also check in the Inet settings on the General tab, Accessibility button
that Ignore Font Styes and Use User Stylesheet are not selected.

Regards.
