Fonts in css

[Albino]

hey

im using css more and more now, but its a pain.

In firefox, it displays fine, in ie it doesnt. Ive read on w3 schools that the code im using works in ie v3 +, so ive no idea whats wrong. Pretty much, its the text size.

The code is:

font.maintext{
	color: #FFFFFF;
	font-size: small;
}
font.footertext{
	color: #FFFFFF;
	font-size: x-small;
}

in firefox, the text size is small and nice, in ie, it is the same size as firefox's medium, and the x-small is the same size as firefox's small.

Which is annoying. has anyone got any suggestions?

oh, and also, how do i set the font in css? ive tried font-family: Veranda; , font: Veranda; and font-face: Veranda;, but none worked.

cheers if anyone can help, theres NP$ in it for anyone that does

i would suggest using px. or pt. for better font size

like if you want your font small i suggest using 10 px or 11 px

Or you could use a percentage.

For instance font-size:75% etc.

That's Verdana and not Veranda BTW, it's recommended to define a generic font family in case the desired font is not installed on the user's computer.

font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;

Oh and please use pixels for size.
