I see from your source that you have specified comic sans as your font. I have a irrational loathing of this font and so have deleted it from my computer. A user can only see fonts that are loaded on their computers. I would be surprised if a Mac had comic sans. What happens is that the font is displayed in the users default - in my case verdana. This causes your layout to go askew and it looks a bit of a mess.

The other issue is browser text size settings. Your page looks fine at your settings but go into it with both IE and NN and while you are there play around with the text size settings - In IE View>Text Size, in NN View>Increase/Decrease Font. I think you will niot be happy with the results.

Most people do not change their default browsers text sizes and at the default settings text tend to display largest in IE, snaller in NN and smaller again on a Mac

The solution to all of this is to put your content in tables. The images (including the dividers) and their associated text should all be in a table, each images and text block in its own cell. That way as the text size varies things will stay pretty much in the same place.

On the font, use comic sans if you must (though I hate it, I really, really hate it, but that is my personal irrational thing ) but accept that there will be a proportion of users who will not see it displayed.
