IE has a bug associated with italic fonts in calculating the width,
especially next to floated blocks. You are lucky that is only produces a
scroll bar, a typical result is similar to the peek-a-boo bug and the
text simply disappears! As a side note, italic fonts are harder to read,
and best to limit their use. I would not use them for any significant
amount of text but rather as a couple of words emphasis.
