(Apologies if this issue has already been raised) In Netscape's Dynamic HTML documentation (which still mentions PR 5 even though 4.01a is the latest version), there is a section called Chapter 3.1 Dyanmic Fonts [1]. It contains this example: <STYLE TYPE="text/css"><!-- @fontdef url(http://home.netscape.com/fonts/sample.pfr); --></STYLE> No mention is made that @fontdef is an extension to CSS not covered in the official CSS1 specification, nor even a proposal offered in the Working Draft on Fonts [2], and that this syntax is not approved by anyone or supported by anything other than Navigator 4.x. Shades of HTML extensions and browser wars, all over again in a new arena. P.S. I'm interested if someone else can comment on my "Issue 3" post last night regarding background images and block-level elements. I'm not certain if Navigator 4's narrow-background interpretation isn't a valid UA choice, or if it's in violation of the CSS1 spec as I argued. -- E.
