So we all know that windows renders text a little differently, that in, it renders text a bit bigger then its superior counterpart, the Mac.

I've run into a problem with an inline unordered list, because the text is larger it throws my padding off and makes everything look ugly.

Is there a way to set Windows FF specific styles that are slightly different than FF for Mac?

Is there something similar to the * html workaround for stupid IE on Windows?

Why does it render the text bigger? Are you using ems? Can you show the code?
Anyway, not sure about FF MAC specific hacks. However there was an article about two years ago on stylegala that you might find useful:

Never used that technique myself, but you might give it a try.

Mac antialiases text, windows doesn't. That, I believe, is the root of this stupid problem

As for code, I'm using px throughout

I'll give that article a look through thanks!!!
