Netscape fonts for CSS

[danima]

Hi folks:

When I use [font-style="verdana, helvetica, arial"] everything looks great in IE but not in Netscape. Any suggestions on what font I should be using to make the text readable in Netscape?

Thanks in advance.

try this: [font-style:verdana, helvetica, arial] (change the '=' to ':') There's always a better way...

That's what I meant...I guess I type to quickly.

font-style: "verdana, helvetica, arial";

Okay, then give this a try:

{font-style:verdana, helvetica, arial} (change the '[ ]' to '{ }')

If you're yousing an external style sheet, don't forget to call it from your page :

<LINK rel=&quot;stylesheet&quot; href=&quot;mystylesheet.css&quot; type=&quot;text/css&quot;> There's always a better way...

You're going to think I'm crazy....you can tell I don't post often....this is what I have in my style.css file:

.paragraph { font-style: &quot;verdana, helvetica, arial&quot;;
font-size: 9pt;
color: #000000;
font-weight: bold
}

Sorry for the confusion....I just put it in brackets to differentiate it from the rest of my post.

Cheers and thanks!

You didn't tell exactly what's wrong.
&quot;everything looks great in IE but not in Netscape&quot; - this is not an explanation.
One known problem is that font sizes are not the same (they appear smaller in N4) on *some* values.
The solution can be or changing font size to the value that will look the same, or attach alternate stylesheet for N4.

One suggestion to make your CSS more compact:
.paragraph
{ font: bold 9pt verdana, helvetica, arial;
color: #000000;
}

This works excellent in all browsers. Just note to keep the same order of properties as I did.
