Prevent text from having a black background in IE

I'm creating a Windows 8.1 app but every time I try to export the game all of the text shows up as black on a black background. Is there something obvious I'm missing? It works in Chrome.

Here is a comparison between IE and Chrome:

It happens whether I use Chrome web fonts or not.
