Combined font attributes to avoid bloat

[createErrorMsg]

I was just looking around in the CSS library and I came across a thread started by tedster and papabaer about getting rid of CSS bloat.

It was full of a lot of great stuff.

One thing papabaer said was to combine all those font attributes (font-size, font-style, font-variant, font-family, ad infinitum) into one font: attribute in the CSS.

So here's a question: is there a rule about what order to put those attributes in? I know for margins the rule is margin: top bottom left right (at least I THINK I know it is). Is there a similar order required for FONT:?

And BTW its top, right, bottom, left :) Clockwise.

Thanks again, Reflection.

Clockwise. Huh. Whod've thunk it would make sense, right?

Heh. Bet it's the other way 'round if your cultural bias is middle-eastern....
