And for Netscape 4.7 and lower, add p, ol and ul to that style too:

<style>
  body, p, ol, ul, td { font-family: helvetica, geneva, arial narrow; }
</style>

i think you'd be better off putting this in between your <head> and </head>
tags:

<style>
  body, td { font-family: helvetica, geneva, arial narrow; }
</style>

I'm losing my mind with fonts for some reason. I thought I knew how to "Base
Font" a page, thus overriding any and all code the rest of the page may
supply. Here's my problem:

<FONT FAMILY="Helvetica, Geneval, Arial Narrow" Size="2">
is the combination of font/sizing I need, but REGARDLESS of where I place
it, my tables default to the Times New Roman,etc settings...(I've tried it
on my PC in both NN and IE, not Opera yet.)I know this is incredibly simple
because designers customize font settings all the time. Why can't I? Is
there one "magical f-spot" that will do the trick every time?? Does the
<BASE FONT="x" SIZE="x"> line do anything?
