[css-d] Font shorthand errors

[Mike Manley]

The W3C CSS Validation Service gives me these errors. After reading the 
CSS3 standards for the font short hand I can not understand why I am 
getting the errors.


45 #content Value Error : font / is not a font-family value : 
1em / 1.5em Rockwell,Helvetica,Sans-serif
99 .sub Value Error : font / is not a font-family value : 16px / 
1.6em Rockwell,Helvetica,Sans-serif
130 .sub a span Value Error : font / is not a font-family value 
: 16px / 1.6em Rockwell,Helvetica,Sans-serif
175 p.credits Value Error : font / is not a font-family value : 
bold 0.8em / 1em Rockwell,Helvetica,Sans-serif
188 p.time Value Error : font / is not a font-family value : 1em 
/ 1.5em Rockwell,Helvetica,Sans-serif


The main CSS file can be found here.

Could someone explain this to me TIA

This is a known bug in the W3C CSS Validator, probably first reported in 
May:

It seems to take time to have the bug fixed. Meanwhile, you can 
circumvent it by declaring various font properties in separate 
declarations. The bug is specifically related to shorthand notations.
