The CSS1 Recommendation runs as Denis says. This was changed in CSS2, which became a recommendation in mid 1998, to give the author final control. We should suggest that CSS is used to implement a number of the checkpoints, and that if this is done then the CSS2 Cascade order should be used, not that of CSS1.

On Thu, 28 Jan 1999, Jon Gunderson replied JRG: Our current guidelines require that the user have the final control over font rendering by asking that the user be able to turn off author supplied font information. --Charles McCathieNevile mailto:charles@w3.org phone: +1 617 258 0992 http://purl.oclc.org/net/charles W3C Web Accessibility Initiative http://www.w3.org/WAI MIT/LCS - 545 Technology sq., Cambridge MA, 02139, USA
