I wasn't sure if it made a difference...so I tested it. Once I saw the
difference, I figured it obviously had some importance, but still wasn't
100% sure. There are many people who post on here with more experience
than I have and figured someone would correct my mistake if I was wrong.

Heather:

I stand corrected. The order is important.

Optional
-----------
bold - italic - oblique - small-caps (in that order)

then -

Required
------------
size - size/height

then -

Required
------------
family

I wasn't sure if it made a difference...so I tested it. Once I saw the
difference, I figured it obviously had some importance, but still wasn't
100% sure. There are many people who post on here with more experience than
I have and figured someone would correct my mistake if I was wrong.

If in doubt have a look at the spec:

'font'
Value: [ [ <'font-style'> || <'font-variant'> || <'font-weight'> ]?
<'font-size'> [ / <'line-height'> ]? <'font-family'> ] | caption | icon

menu | message-box | small-caption | status-bar | inherit

Looks a bit confusing, so let's break it down. The important part is
this:

[ <'font-style'> || <'font-variant'> || <'font-weight'> ]?
<'font-size'> [ / <'line-height'> ]?
<'font-family'>

The first line:

[ <'font-style'> || <'font-variant'> || <'font-weight'> ]?

allows one or more of the given properties in any order and the entire
block is optional (because of the trailing question mark). After that
you have to give a value for font-size, which may be followed by a slash
and the line-height (optional again):

<'font-size'> [ / <'line-height'> ]?

Finally there's the font-family.

So in some cases the order of properties does matter, in some others it
doesn't.

doesn't.

Thanks for the breakdown and the explanation, Micha.
