 There's no "order" in CSS. Instead there is a cascade, with specificity
 rules and calculations. This needn't give rise to a simple linear order
 in all cases, it's more complex than that.

 As you describe it here, <font> (and some other HTML presentational
 information) gets treated as lower than the stylesheets too.  A browser
 can also ignore them entirely, should it wish to (i.e. a pure CSS
 browser).
 
 Here's the ref:
 http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/cascade.html#q13
 
 "The UA may choose to honor presentational attributes in an HTML source
 document. If so, these attributes are translated to the corresponding
 CSS rules with specificity equal to 0, and are treated as if they were
 inserted at the start of the author style sheet."
