Try something like:
HTML:
#main h1 {
font: normal 80px/80px Velvet, sans-serif;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}

Which version of IE? I've used the Google fonts without problem in IE7, not sure of IE6 but that is an increasingly small percentage of my audience.
A quick trick you can try is to add
to each of your CSS rules in turn (well those that apply to block items anyway) and check if you get the border in IE. IE doesn't support some of the less common CSS selectors so it may be this that is the problem - see http://www.quirksmode.org/css/contents.html for a fuller list. Without more info it's hard to tell though.

You're right to do it properly with css etc as you'll be able to find your site in search engines now.
Don't worry too much about internet explorer, I just had a look at w3schools.com statistics and ie is only about 15% now. Last year it was 50% so it's custom is decreasing at a rapid rate and will soon acknowledge css or be extinct.

One of the differences between print and the web is that not every viewing experience is the same - you have no idea if someone is going to view your site on a widescreen monitor with the browser set to full screen or on a mobile device - so you have to be flexible. You extend this flexibility to browsers with graceful degradation and progressive enhancement. So long as the site is useable in IE then all the niceties such as drop-shadows, rounded corners etc are progressive enhancement. If you rely on some new technology then graceful degradation means that those visitors without it will still be able to use the site.
No need to drop IE support altogether but don't get hung up on it.
