There is an omission from the font-family specification. Take the popular font 'Monotype.com'. Font-family: Monotype.com is prima facie valid, since all CSS states is: <blockquote> <family-name> The name of a font family of choice. In the previous example, "Baskerville", "Heisi Mincho W3", and "Symbol" are font families. Font family names containing whitespace should be quoted. If quoting is omitted, any whitespace characters before and after the font name are ignored and any sequence of whitespace characters inside the font name is converted to a single space. </blockquote> There is nothing else on quoting, but there should be, since that declaration would be parsed as IDENT DELIM S IDENT DELIM IDENT; i.e., as font-family: Monotype DELIM IDENT. (Similarly there isn't any statement on counter functions.) Also the second code example there has: BODY { font-family: "new century schoolbook", serif } Should not that be "New Century Schoolbook"? ----------------------------------- Please visit http://RichInStyle.com.
