Thanks Devin.
It actually had nothing to do with a span style, however because of your reply I decided to change the font from the default “Open Sans” to a web safe font Arial and it worked fine in IE 11 – I then changed it back to Open Sans, and it did not render at all – Really not sure why it does show some text but not all, but I have no problem continuing using a web safe font.

Thanks for your help..
