OMG, it's all gone slanted on me! (italics)

Almost everything on the site has switched to italics, though the subject and editor seem to be displaying non-italics.

Was this done on purpose?

I upgraded to IE10 for Windows 7 the other day, and it's been fine up to now. I don't think it's IE10's fault.

I am getting everything in italics (even the text I am typing now) while using IE9/Win7. No such effect in Safari/Win7 or Firefox/Mac.

I've bypassed around the problem so I don't see the corrupt style sheets, by unchecking allow documents to use other Fonts I have set to use veranda fonts. Looks like it did before the trouble appeared. they're not going to fix it anyway. So I'lljust workaround the problem.

The font-family: “abobe-clean, …” is what is doing it. If you edit the styles in IE F12 mode and remove this font-family entry in a couple of the BODY tag styles, the italics is gone.

The “adobe-clean” is coming from a style-sheet downloaded from use.typekit.com and so a way to defeat the italics is to assign use.typekit.com to the local loopback address by adding the following to your hosts file: 127.0.0.1 use.typekit.com

IE 7 & 8, both on XP-Pro - no italics.

Interesting! Bill, what happens if you clear your browser cache?

I've noticed in the past that a page may display in italics ever so briefliy before everything would straighten up. Never had it just stay that way before, though.
