Many thanks Jonathan

At the risk of being the most annoying new user in the world... how do
I provide an alternate font for each style class and a generic
font-family? I have spent most of the morning with my head in a very
un-userfriendly dreamweaver book trying to find out about this.

Thanks again,

Anne
