The exact definition is [code] body { /* some other non-font declarations */ font-family: georgia, times, "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14px; } [/code] Even though I've got "serif" as my final fallback, I was getting a sans-serif font when I tested in Mac IE 5.5 and Linux Konqueror (but not in Safari, which is Konqueror-based). I checked my Linux system, and sure enough, I've got Times set as my default serif font. So a font-family: serif should definitely come up Times. The Mac system turned out to have both Times and Times New Roman installed. Again, serif should work. Okay, I thought, maybe those browsers don't like it when I put a font-family in the body tag. Lemme try this... [code] p { font-family: georgia, times, "times new roman", serif; } [/code] Even with the font-family applied to a P tag, I didn't get a serif font in Mac IE 5.5 and Linux Konqueror! This is a bit too weird for me. I'm wondering if anyone knows something I don't. Loading...
