All my web searches for Google Fonts with IE8 show people talking about google fonts just not loading or not showing up. I don't have that problem. Instead IE8 is loading my Google Font just fine, but its applying the font to ALL the type on the page! Things seem to be fine in other browsers. Is there some kind of glitch in my CSS that IE is choking on?

Ok here's some of the relevant css:

body {
    font-size: 16px;
    font-size: 1rem;
    font-family: Helvetica-Neue,Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
    text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;
    color: #444;
}

.contact-us-text {
    font-family: 'Arvo', serif;
    font-size: 150%;
    color: #2770b4;
}

.contact-us-phone {
    font-family: 'Arvo', serif;
    font-size: 175%;
}

Everything pertinent should be in just one style sheet. You can easily view it with Firebug or Chrome's Inspector or whatever you want.

In FF and Chrome, everything is inheriting Helvetica or Arial as it should be. But not in IE8. You'd have to use Firebug and view the entire stylesheet if you want to see more.
