Perhaps you are using Google Web Fonts, or something else other than standard fonts?

Try putting this in your page's <head> tag:

<!--[if lte IE 8]>
<style>
  input {
    font-family: Arial;
  }
</style>
<![endif]-->

Make sure to replace input with whatever CSS selector it takes to override the font-family.
