I was looking at the Eleven40 demo theme in IE and the font is nice. When I viewed the demo in Fire Fox and Chrome, the font is smaller and looks like standard Arial. Do these themes view differently in browsers like that?
The reason I ask is because I currently have Eleven40 for my own site. When I initially purchased it and got my site up and running I was only using IE and loved the way it looked. After checking how it views in Fire Fox and Chrome it does the same thing as stated above. I've been searching to find a fix thinking that it was W3 Total Cache plugin, but I removed it today and I have the same results. That's what prompted me to view the demo site in different browsers and to my surprise, I get the same result. The font in the demo theme looks small and poor in Fire Fox and Chrome.

FireFox is the worst with what looks like an Arial font. Chrome isn't much better. I tried a different computer and my site as well as the demo site do the same thing. Fire Fox and Chrome just look plain.
My issue is that according to Analytics, visitors using IE to view my site have the longest average site duration, the most page views, and the lowest bounce rate. I feel it's because the actual font on the Eleven40 theme is soothing to the eye and easy to read. Fire Fox has the worst stats with Chrome close behind. Is there a fix for this?

Lora - https://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Lora
Oswald - https://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/OswaldOpen above pages in different browsers - do you notice same problem?

However, when the Eleven40 theme demo (or my site) is viewed in different browsers, IE is the only browser true to the font (as best as I can tell). It looks vibrant, larger, and has bold color. Fire Fox has good color, but the font gets smaller and changes some. Chrome has the least color boldness and the font seems thin. It gets smaller as well.
I'm still new to building websites, but this tells me that there is something within the theme itself that is causing this. Am I wrong? Does anyone else see what I see with the theme demo's when viewed in different browsers? Is this just something you have to accept?
