Arial specified in CSS breaks site in IE9

I've only seen this issue in IE9 and only on certain PCs. In my CSS I have the following, which sometimes causes a blank page:

font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;

If I change the CSS to this then the page loads, but Arial is not used for the font:

font-family: "Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif";

Can you show us an example? If it sometimes works, it sounds like it could be an issue with the page simply not loading properly. - Chris Herbert
What does "breaks site" mean? try to be a little bit more specific - Benjamin Udink ten Cate
I cant get the site off of its current enviroment - Evanss
By "breaks site" I meant "sometimes causes a blank page" - Evanss

Try:

font-family: "Arial", "Verdana", "Helvetica", "sans-serif";

Your second example is basically telling the browser to render that div with a font called 'Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif'
