Use CSS to style your page.

strong {
    font-weight:bold;
}

try

     <span style="font-weight:bold"> sample text </span>

also you can use css shorthand like

           <span style="font:bold 13px arial;"> sample text </span>

Note: <font> has been deprecated

If you need to simply differentiate the CSS inclusion you can use the IE conditions in HTML :

<![if IE]>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="ie.css" />
<![endif]>

and for all the other cases

<![if !IE]>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="not-ie.css" />
<![endif]>

If you need something more specific you will have to use some hacks, but it's not recommended at all
