IE: line-height make "g" and other letters partly invisible

Take a look at "(2007-Aug-06)" and you will see the "g" looks nearly like a "o". This is caused by the line height.

.update-status table.version tr,
.update-status table.version td {
  line-height: .9em;
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0;
  border: none;
}
