This is known bug in IE, see for instance: "ont-family: serif inappropriate font selected as replacement for generic when font size changed through UA preferences" http://css.nu/pointers/bugs-ie.html#IE5 http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2000Oct/0135.html I think that it happens when you: - change your default font size - then install a new font and I think it's fixable by changing the font size after the installation... But I'm not really sure anymore. Hope this helps, Dom -- Dominique Hazaël-Massieux - http://www.w3.org/People/Dom/ W3C/ERCIM mailto:dom@w3.orgReceived on Tuesday, 6 May 2003 09:41:31 GMT
