ok, I solved the problem. Fixed with CSS.
The font sizing in my ".menu" style was "font-size: 1.2em;"
This caused the menu items that were not ".active" or ".last" to be multiplied 1.2 times.
The other problem was with the margin settings.
Those to were doubled in the other calls.
I fixed it with padding styles just for the top and left.
padding-left: 42px;
padding-top: 7px;
Hope this helps someone else.
Thanks
