Just as a hint: stay away from absolute font-size units. pt (points) is
a bad choice, use 'em' instead as a relative size-unit. And have you
checked, that you have Arial installed on your system, otherwise your
experiment will not work at all (as it doesn't for all other machines
out there that do not have Arial (I believe most mac do not have Arial
installed)).

do you have a URL? Sometimes things should work theoretically, but in
reality there are alway browsers in the way (or a nested div-structure,
as I assume it to be in your case). So post a URL.
