what exactly is the nature of the problem?
<tip type="so weird you probably don't care, but kinda related">
Environment: Sun(SPARC)/Solaris + Nescape 4.7x
iPlanet Web server, JRun, Epicentric Portal Server
The font specs in the style sheet I'd created weren't being
rendered - at all - *but*:
it worked fine in Netscape on Windows laptops,
-and-
it worked fine in Netscape on Sun
if the rendered version was captured by save-as into index.html
and served through the Web server,
-or-
if the rendered version was captured by save-as into index1.jsp
and served through JRun without any of the Epicentric includes.
WTF?
Finally noticed today that the Epicentric code was defining the
output as "charset=UTC-8"; changing it to "ISO-8859-1" fixed it ...
Joy.

Lesson: character set defs count sometimes ...
