Thanks for the suggestion, but it didn't help. I removed all the block level
elements in the right hand column, and just used a series of <br /> tags
instead. It actually made things worse--now the problem appears in IE6 at
Large in addition to Largest. :)

I am not following you here. I don't use fixed pixel fonts for the body of
the document, which changes from page to page, but the header is precisely
that--it's meant to be a fixed image so that the letters match up next to
the graphic. I am still working on the overall look of the header, but why
would I want to make the text sizes of the header liquid? That would allow
the user to change the visual appearance of the header, which is precisely
not what I want.

Does anyone else have any suggestions as to how I can fix the problem with
the right hand column? If I can not find a liquid solution, then I will need
to resort to fixing the pixel size of the fonts there.
