    Where am I inheriting that ungodly huge font from and how can I fix it?

    Here's my style sheet:

    body { background: #ccc url(http://www.upontherainbow.com/graphics/sidebar.jpg) top left repeat-y;
font-size: 10px;
font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif;
color: #000000;
background-color: #CFDEFD; 
margin: 10px; }

a:link { color: #0000FF;
text-decoration: underline; }

a:visited { color: #9B11BD;
text-decoration: underline; }

H1 { font-size: 20px;
font-weight: bold; 
text-align: center; }

H2 { font-size: 16px;
font-weight: bold; 
text-align: center; }

H3 { font-size: 14px;
font-weight: bold; 
text-align: center; }

TABLE { font-size: 12px;
border-spacing:1 }

.consolenavbar { font-weight: bold; }

.consolenavbar a:link { color: #0000FF;
text-decoration: underline; }

.consolenavbar a:visited { color: #9B11BD;
text-decoration: underline; }

/* Where the navbar goes */
#leftmenu { width: 160px;
height: 300px;
position: absolute;
top: 5px;
left: 5px;
margin: 0px;
font-size: 13px; }

/* Main Body of Page */
#content { position: relative;
top: 5px;
left: 165px;
width: 800px;
margin: 0px; 
font-size: 12px;}
    Code (markup):

    Your <p> tags are missing, which is probably what your styles are applied to. also you have open font tags, why dont you just use css to style your font, much easier.

    edit: removed

    You have a bunch of font tags left open, removing them fixes it.

    <font size="8"> <-- Theres 5 of them.

    You're just forcing a patch on top of error. You have open header tags that I noticed, among the many, many other errors. You also have saved your file as the proprietary windows charset, which means that there are invalid character entities. Your server headers declare utf-8. You'll be OK saving the files as iso-8859-1, ASCII or utf-8. That means plain text or utf-8. Do not save as text-MS DOS format (or similar) or as Unicode (MSFT adds a BOM).

    You have many syntax errors that need to be fixed. There is no point in trying to fix unexpected results when everything's guesswork due to bad syntax anyway.

    cheers,
