EDIT: See my update in post #6 below
This is driving me CRAZY.
I am working on a website and want to have the main type style to be 11px Georgia (whether it's specified in ems, % or px I don't care, just around 11px).
The problem is that the design calls for some pretty tight spacing here and there, and 11px Georgia is WAY smaller on Macs than on PCs. All Mac browsers are showing it one size, and all PC browsers are showing it another, wider, size. I didn't want to have to resort to hacks, but it's looking that way. Note that Arial, Verdana, Times New Roman, and Helvetica are not having the same problem.
I've uploaded a simple font test page to my site that shows Georgia from 36px to 9px. Could some kind souls here please take screenshots of the page and attach them here with notes on OS and Browser versions?

Thank you so much!
