Look at the text on this page with firefox, it looks bigger than in IE. And the
text also makes strange line-breaks. Compare with IE to see the difference.
Can it have anything to do with tables maybe ?

It looks to me like the page uses a lot of non-standard compliant stuff in the
tables - a quick run through the W3 validator shows this up.  The odd line
breaks look hard-coded by the page designers, I guess to get a specific "look".
 It looks like the HTML is at fault here -> probably invalid.

Agreed that this is probably INVALID.

Use Firefox and CTRL-(minus) the font size down a step or two and it looks just
like IE renders it.  With the exception, of course, that other text on the page
gets smaller -- but this is an IE bug where IE won't resize pixel-defined sized
text.  If you tell IE to adjust font size, the only thing that changes is the
block of text that has the hardcoded line breaks.

Evangalism bug, perhaps, but can't fault Firefox for a page designed/coded for
IE only (apparently).
