Is it possible to define individual font sizes for each type in the family?
I'd like to define a 10pt font for Verdana while having the remainder of the
family options display at 12pt.
FONT-FAMILY: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
Thanks in advance

Looks very useful, but.... in which browsers is it supported?

Hardly any. And font-size-adjust has been removed from the CSS 2.1
draft.

Jukka,
As a result is there a way possible to accomplish my inquiry?
Thanks in advance.

No. You effectively asked how to make font-size depend on font-family,
specifically how to make Verdana smaller than the other alternatives.
Useful as it might be, it's not possible.
The conclusion is, as you could see by checking past discussions on
Verdana, that Verdana should normally not be used in author style sheets.
Opinions differ on what (if anything) might constitute a special reason
for using it. But certainly that question is to be considered taking into
account the fact that it will be of the same size as the other
alternatives listed in the font-family declaration that is to be applied.
That is, knowing that Verdana will look "too big".

The best way is simply to define fonts of roughly the same size and
appearance. {FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;} should be fine
for nearly all readers. Verdana is best avoided - I think you've already
discovered the problem with it, from your question.

Is there a problem with the CSS font-family property with IE6 -
or is it my understanding of the font-family property?
I was under the impression that the browser tried to use the
first font. If it couldn't find that font it used the next on
the list and so on. If it couldn't find any on the list, prior
to the last it would use the last - which, as you can see is
sans-serif here.

For these two CSS definitions if I remove the 2 lines that have the

treated as a bigger font size than plain old small.

Hi All,
I've run into a bit of an interesting problem with CSS and font DPI and
would certainly welcome help.
Problem:
Page layout defined in CSS has font size issues (overlapping frames, text
overflowing out of popup window, etc) on a windows systems using 120dpi
fonts (large fonts), but everything looks perfect in 96dpi small fonts.
