I have noticed that when I specify a 8.25 font size Verdana for any .NET
controls, and when I specify the smae font size and font-family in a webpage
through CSS and displayed in IE, the sizes look different on the screen.

Any ideas of how to get them to match up?

Setting the label's 'FlatStyle' property to 'True' gives the approximately
same result (HTML code used: '<span style="font-size: 8.25pt; font-family:
Verdana">Button1</span>').
