I created a dynamic textfield with the scrollbar component attached to it and with \_sans selected as the font. It looks fine in my authoring & testing environment, but when I look at in IE it shows as a serif font. It shows sans in Firefox, but I need it to be sans in IE. The text is not dynamic either. Simply a dynamic textfield, which I made scrollable. Anyone?
