Friends,
I note that where there is a font-family defined for the universal
selector, that font (and that font size) are used in ANY element,
regardless of class, where there is also a bit of HTML.
That is, where the universal selector all by itself ("*") is defined with a
certain font-family, and where a second class is defined as having a
different font-family, then within an element having that second class
applied where the text is modified with standard HTML (<em>-</em>, or
<b>-</b> will work), that text will be in the universal selector's font,
not in the second classes font. Weird. I fired up Firefox, Mozilla and IE,
and they all had exactly the same behavior.
So far I have not found anything about it via Google, nor in the W3C CSS
refs, but since all three browsers handle it the same way, then it would
seem to be a part of the spec. Not what I would expect, but so defined,
apparently.
I've put an example at http://www.allhear.com/Universal-selectors-font.html.
