I've got an element with a bar below it, and some Loading text like so. on Chrome the text fits neatly above the bar, which is sized to 100% of the parent it and the loading text share ( 200px width ). On Firefox and IE, however, the font is much larger(!) sending it past the bar and looking misaligned as a result. All of the browser's dev tools report that the fonts are the correct size ( when they are obviously not to the human eye ), and none of the browsers have any zoom level set ( tested different zoom levels as well, no change in the scaling difference )
This has me extremely stumped, I've been through SO and google many times over reading all of the related font inconsistency issues looking for something I've missed, and have yet to come across this one again.
Is this something I can fix simply, or will I have to wrangle with per-browser css rules to lower the font size?
