It happens any time IE 5.5 uses the 'serif' generic font family, not just if it's the first in the list. I'm not sure it happens on all IE5.5 installations, but it happens enough that it's worth avoiding. I put a Windows-specific font name immediately before serif to avoid it ever choosing that, eg: font-family: "GoodFont", "CrapFont", "Times New Roman", serif Microsoft seems not to have acknowledged this (IMHO serious) bug. By the way, I'm not sure putting *two* generic font-family names in the list above makes much sense. -- Andrew Clover Technical Support 1VALUE.com AG
