The first thing to try is creating a category called "Featured Products" and try various configurations using the Customize Product Display settings, (for type, rows, columns, etc). There is a bit more info about this at: http://store.volusion.com/kb_results.asp?ID=214 If that doesn't work for you, you can turn off the default featured products display and create a custom block of HTML (which displays products you want to feature) and place it in Article #2 or Article #71 (the articles that appear on the home page above and below where the featured products section would display). The last resort is to use Javascript and DOM to replace or restyle the Volusion generated featured products (HTML & CSS) code... you'll find a few articles here in the Volusion section that explain the technique.

Font rendering in IE and FF are different, not matter what you do -- so the two browsers will never look "exactly" the same -- but the types of problems you're describing sound more like a missing or improperly nested tag somewhere in the template. When you say "<em>Some of the text in the main categories get overlaid and disappear for example.</em>", are you talking about text on a category page -- or text on the menu links that go to the categories ?
