User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10

Firefox 1.0PR mixes different fonts ist the text is either in <p> tags or not.

Font is defined using CSS for Body, now Texts are displayed different in <p>
Tags than Texts without p-Tags around them

Seen on different sites, most of them internal (CMS, Intranet...)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the given URL
2. Look at it (and compare to other Browsers incl. older Firefox


Actual Results:  
Looks not nice

Expected Results:  
Every text, which has not an own special class, should be displayed in the font
defined in body using CSS

Attachment: One Example

Screenshot of a page with a font-problem. Font changes in one p-Tag. (made a
yellow rect on this point)

HTML-Code for this part:
<p class="error-message-page"><span class="error-message">Sie haben eine Seite
außerhalb der vorgesehenen Reihenfolge aufgerufen. <br>Typische Ursachen dafür
sind, dass Sie den "Zurück"-Knopf benutzt haben, oder dass Sie nach Ablauf
Ihrer Session eine Dialogseite weiter benutzen wollten.</span></p>

Fitting CSS:
body
{
    background-color: #ffffff;
    color: #000000;

    height: 98%;
    width: 98%;
    margin : 1%;
}

body.nps.full
{
    height: 100%;
    width: 100%;
    margin : 0px;
}

.nps
{
    font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
    font-size: 10pt;
}

(...)

.nps .error-message-page,
.nps .error-message-field
{
    margin: 0.2em;
    border-width: 1px;
    border-style: solid;
    border-color: #ff0000;
    color: #ff0000;
    background-color: #ffffff;
}

.nps .invalid-value,
.nps .invalid-value a
{
    color: #ff0000;
}


.nps .error-message-page,
.nps .error-message-field,
.nps .error-message
{
    font-weight: bold;
}

Well, the URL given shows no font changes for me.

And in the code sample, the only part of the CSS that defines a font is not used
in the HTML snippet.  So what does it show?

Invalid unless a valid testcase that shows the problem can be produced.
