Does the shortcut version of the "font" property in CSS work properly in
Netsurf?
Yes, it does. You can find extensive test data at [1].
This CSS gives me the display I want:
font-family: serif;
font-style: italic;
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 24pt;
This single CSS expression is supposed to be equivalent, but Netsurf
ignores it:
font: serif italic bold 24pt;
Or am I failing to understand the spec?
I'm afraid so. The spec[2,3] says that (assuming none of the
single-token values are specified -- e.g. caption or inherit):
* font-style, font-variant, font-weight appear first (in any order), if
required
* font-size comes next (and is always required)
* an optional line-height may be specified next
* font-family appears last
So, given the long-hand you have specified above, you want something like:
font: bold italic 24pt serif;
