Comment:

 Viewing the page in IE8 in IE7 mode it seems fine. IIRC IE7 introduced
 'full page zoom' instead of the older 'text zoom' and this behaviour was
 standard but they changed it for IE8 as it was unpopular. There is another
 issue since the site uses 'pt' for font size, which IE doesn't resize
 properly, but the IE8 page zoom works okay so I'm not going to fix that
 anytime soon.
