I believe IE ignores FONT when the same property has been defined in a
stylesheet, which is _optional_ UA behavior.
To be safe, style FONT, e.g.:
<style type="text/css">
<!--
body, font { color: blue }
//-->
</style>
CSS declarations trump HTML declarations. If Navigator 4.x still displays
the text in gray then Navigator is wrong.
