Yes, add the opening body tag, but as also mentioned by a couple
of other people, you need to use "font-size" rather than "font"
and you need to apply it to td as well as body tags:

BODY, TD {  font-family: arial; color: white; font-size: 10pt;
background:
url(images/background/topbg.jpg) repeat-x; }
