You have the syntax wrong.
From:
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/fonts.html#font-shorthand

Value: [ [ <'font-style'> || <'font-variant'> || <'font-weight'> ]? <'font-size'> [ / <'line-height'> ]? <'font-family'> ] | caption | icon | menu | message-box | small-caption | status-bar | inherit

You'd have to list the font-weight first (not last, as in your code snippet), and you _have_ to specify the font-size.

Your code snippet should look like this:
font:bold 1em verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif
