Hi Bob,

Firstly, I¹d test the CSS and font tag versions independently, as they¹re
probably clashing at the moment. But I think your real problem is the HTML
comments surrounding the style declarations (). Remove them and
try again in Safari. Also, change your text line to <span
class=²Cheltenham²>This should display in Cheltenham 40 bold</span>, so that
only the CSS declarations are at play.

Good luck!
