Yes, the problem with the font property is that according to the syntax, 
you need to specify at least a font-size and a font-family, and that any 
font-weight, -style or -variant needs to be before the size.  So the 
above was actually setting the font-size to 18px and a font named "bold" 
(which is likely to be non-existent for most users).

Also note that you should generally avoid specifying font-sizes in 
pixels for accessibility reasons.  It prevents IE users from resizing 
the text at all.
