MudGuard said something important with it depends on the current font.

When comparing what Netscape and IE do, you've got to be sure that you're using the same display font in both.

I recently changed my default font (IE5, Win98) from Times New Roman to Palatino, because Palatino displays the famous "euro" and TNR (on my machine) doesn't.

And the same font name as applied to "European" machines may use a different "font page" than is available to us po' folk in the US, and may display differently.

A compounding factor is that WinNT4/SP2, Win2000, and WinXP can use Unicode fonts, while Win98 and earlier cannot (according to Mickey$oft).
