Indeed; I use the unquoted version, but IE5.01/Win uses the
specific font "Serif" regardless.

As far as I understand it, declaring a "@font-face xyz"
indirection would still leave me the same problem if there
happened to be a font installed called "xyz".

Anyway this doesn't seem to be the problem now; the bloke
assures me he hasn't got a font called "Serif", and he hasn't
changed his default font(s) in IE. I guess I'll go with the
"obscure occasional IE bug" theory for now. Extra CSS joy
all round!
