The TT'd text on the page should appear as Lucida Console to me, since I don't have Andale Mono installed. Instead, I'm getting Arial sized equivalent to <font size=2>. If I remove either of the specific font family names from the CSS, it works properly. For example: font-family: "Andale Mono", monospace; gives me Courier New (default monospace), and font-family: "Lucida Console", monospace; gives me Lucida Console. I'm using the Win32 May 1st nightly build, Windows NT 4.0 SP4.
Update using May 4th Win32 build: I'm now getting Courier New, which is obviously less bad than getting Arial. It's still not Lucida Console, though.

Target Milestone: M10
It's Arial again in the 06-23-08-M8 nightly build - even though #582 was fixed. So it's probably not related.
Target Milestone: M10 → M11
This behavior is not limited to TT. Any time I try to use <FONT face="x,y,z"> or CSS "font-family: x,y,z" where "x" is a font I don't have, the text is drawn in Arial. The alternatives "y" and "z" are ignored. (Using nightly build 1999-08-20 on WinNT4.) The bug does not seem to be there on Linux.

We probably need a testcase for this - I cannot reproduce the problem on Windows 98.

Migrating from {css1} to css1 keyword. The {css1}, {css2}, {css3} and {css-moz} radars should now be considered deprecated in favour of keywords. I am *really* sorry about the spam...
