fonts not appearing correctly in IE 5 5.5 and aol for win 20

I made a website and the fonts appear correctly in all browsers but IE 5 5.5 and aol. They seem to inherit the right color but not the size. and they also seemed to have an increased line-height.

At one point they did render correctly but now that I have finished the site, I checked and now are all messed up this is all I have for the font families

body  {
font: 12px verdana,geneva,lucida,arial,sans-serif;
background: #fff;
color: #999;
}
div td p span  {
font: 12px verdana,geneva,lucida,arial,sans-serif;
color: #999;

and in the @import style sheet I have

div#left, div#middle, div#right, div.leftsub, a {line-height: 130%;}

I tried to take these out and see what happens but the fonts still stay huge and have a large fontsize.

This has happened after I embedded a flash header and I took that out to see if it would make a difference but nothing happened.

If anyone has had this problem before please let me know this is for an important client to me
