277489 - Arial fails to render when assigned via CSS

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

Using CSS, when I assign Arial as the font-family value, Times New Roman is
instead rendered.


1) See the sample page. I've narrowed it down to that HTML snippet.

Expected results: The text is displayed in the Arial fontface.
Actual results: The text is displayed in the Times New Roman fontface.

I am using Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a6)
Gecko/20050107 Firefox/1.0+ on Windows XP Home Edition.

This could be similar to bug 132341, but due to no previously existant bug
reports on this error with Windows XP, this report was created.

Don't quote the entire block, as that is invalid. See
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/fonts.html#font-family-prop and also bug 33286.

font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Univers;

works fine.
