How?
It has ignored all my suggestions.
Can somebody point me to an explanation?

I have tried to change the font size and family
of the text elements within a <table> ... </table>
"IT" is Firefox 1.5.0.7 browser.
After some trial and trial and trial and trial,
here is where I am now...
^^^^^^^^<html>
<head>
<style>
td {font-family: arial, verdana, sans-serif; size=+1; }
</style>
<body>
<!-- font face="comic sans ms" size=+1 -->
<!-- span style='font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial' -->
<!-- span style="font-size: 13.5pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;" -->
<!-- span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: san-serif; color:
navy;" -->
<!-- span style="font-size: 18pt; font-family: san-serif; " -->
<table>
<tr><td>07jan70</td><td> Sam Smith </td></tr>
<tr><td>01jan72</td><td> John Johnson </td></tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
None of the <font...> or <span ...> statements influenced the
text within the table, so I changed them to comments. I kept
them as comments to remind me what does not work.
Since I first posted my question, I googled for font-family and
came up with the "td {font...". The "td {font... " has some
influence on the teXt within the table, but it (the resultant
font) is very weak. If nothing else, I would like to specify
bold, but must I install <b> within every <td> element?
