Basic CSS text properties supported in Netscape 4.x?

[Ethan]

I am finding that the "font-family" property is not respected by NN
4.79 on the PC. However, various documentation sources say that
"font-family" IS supported in Netscape.

For example:

p {
color: #5f5f5f;
font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: .7em;}

On Netscape the color and font size are redered as specified, but the
font is Times. Helvetica and Arial are available on the system.
Moreover, the style appears properly in IE 6.

Am I setting up the style wrong? Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks,

Ethan

Since you didn't give us a URL about all we can do is suggest that
you validate both your HTML and your CSS. Invalid one or the other
is the most common explanation for two browsers doing different
things. (Browser bugs are a close second, of course.)
