Can you give some aditional information?

Do you have this on all websites?

Did you made changes to windows fonts or applied a custom windows theme?

Did you try another brower, does this have the same problem?

I mainly notice on internet banking sites and when reading emails, but I'm sure it happens on other pages as well. It only occurs on IE, but when I use FireFox it's fine. I haven't made any changes to fonts or themes, I'm just using the standard settings

Can you check following setting:

Internet explorer > Tools > Internet Options >Fonts...

See if Language script is set to "Latin" , Webpage font to 'Times New Roman' & plain test font to 'Courier New' .

Erm, ok I thought it had worked, but I rebooted my computer, and even though the settings are correct, it's happening again? :|
