When you don't specify the font, you should get the default font the browser
was set for (using Preferences), whatever that happens to be.

You don't have a semi-colon after the name of the font.  That's why you
didn't get what you expected.  I just tried the following using Netscape
4.73 in Windows 2000, and it gave me verdana (no way to be sure what the
point size is, but I presume it's right):

td.mystyle {font-family:Verdana; font-size:11px}

The font size displayed as seems to be a bit smaller than in IE, but that's
probably a browser-specific difference, not anything wrong with the style
specification.

Are you trying this on Windows or something else?
