First of all if you want to see CSS1 and a part of CSS2 , you should 
download one of the following browsers that support stylesheets.
Opera 5, IE 5.0 (Mac), IE 5.5 (Win), Konqueror, Netscape 6, Mozilla 0.8, etc.

In CSS2, http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/syndata.html#value-def-identifier

****
In CSS2, identifiers (including element names, classes, and IDs in 
selectors) can contain only the characters [A-Za-z0-9] and ISO 10646 
characters 161 and higher, plus the hyphen (-); they cannot start 
with a hyphen or a digit. They can also contain escaped characters 
and any ISO 10646 character as a numeric code (see next item). For 
instance, the identifier "B&W?" may be written as "B\&W\?" or "B\26 
W\3F".
****

So you can't have "_" characters in your selector, for example you should have

.categoryFont { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; 
font-size: 9pt}

Hope it Helps! (HiH)  :)
