Unfortunately neither Adobe nor IBM appear to be
handling this correctly.
I tried the latest versions of the viewers. Adobe
handles
font-family:'Comic Sans MS';
correctly, but could not display
font-family:'Times New Roman';
IBM handles 'Times New Roman' but not 'Comic Sans MS'.
Weird.
Hopefully they will fix these bugs in the next
release.
