style.css

#content #main .post {
	position: relative; margin: 0 0 60px 0; padding: 0 0 0 0; overflow: hidden;
	}

#content #main .post h2 {
	float: left; margin: 0 0 10px 75px;
	font: 24px Lucida Grande, Lucida Sans Unicode, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; letter-spacing: normal;
	}

#content #main .post p {
	font:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; size: 10px;
	}

1) <font face="Arial" color="red" size="14">Lorem ipsum</font> suppose to be 14 size. but it does not, the font turns extremely large font with red color.

2) The paragraph suppose to be 10px size but in actual it does not. The print appears like 12 px.

Why is it ?

Thanks.

size isn't a CSS property or is font either. You would ned to use font-family and font-size in your CSS file for these to work. Why the mix of inline and external styles? Everything can easily be put in your CSS file.
