not really a font declaration, whatever that is.

This is not a program, friend.

I'll try: you are posting some vaguely HTML-like character sequences and
calling them a program (although they don't comprise even a valid HTML
*page*), the putative object of which you have failed to mention, in a
post titled "font face question" which contains only one actual
question, namely the one I am vainly attempting to answer here.

If you despise Microsoft so much that you can't even type the company's
name right, maybe you should change platforms. You didn't mention what
browser you were trying to "run" your HTML "program" in (among your
other errors) but if it's a flavor of IE, it could easier affect
(negatively) the results you were hoping to get (whatever they were).

You might want to look at, e.g.,
<http://www.faqs.org/faqs/usenet/posting-rules/part1/>
<http://www.anta.net/misc/nnq/help-us.shtml> and/or
<http://diveintomark.org/archives/2003/05/05/why_we_wont_help_you> .

HTH. If you can regroup your ideas and come back with a coherent
question (and a URL to validated code), maybe we can help more.
