That's because you're using points which are a print measurement. Try 
pixels which better matches monitor displays:

for a side-by-side point size rendering of Arial.


As far as what works and what doesn't in CSS and browsers:

One final thing that I learned the hard way -- if in doubt about a style 
sheet, run it through the CSS Validator at http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/

It will not only check your CSS, but it will output a valid style sheet. Do 
use it with caution -- the validator will drop anything that's not quite 
right. So, if you examine the error report and the valid result, it usually 
offers some decent clues as to what is or is not acceptable.

The h3 style is about the only one that I see that should work. The others 
may be getting confused. Try rewriting as:

a.tdContent:link {color: #CC6600;} and then call it as a class="tdContent" 
href="somepage.html"

You'll note this combines your two classes into one class. The space 
between td.content and a:link may be throwing off the browser's attempt to 
render your styles.
