Re: CSS and font sizing

Hello Timmi,

I've only used CSS a little bit.  If you want to see if this makes a 
difference or not (because I'm unsure), try using a specific point size 
instead of -1 and put quotes around the individual typeface names instead of 
the whole group.  Example below:

h2{color:red;  font-family:�arial�, �helvetica�, �sans serif�;  
text-align:left;  text-indent:1in;  font-size:18pt}

Regards,
Susan V.
