Welcome to TWF

in your .css file, remove the ":" after the link tags (a:link:), should be a:link a:active, a:visited ...

you also might want to change your font sizer, use px instead of pt, more flexible on different browsers.

you may want to know it doesnt align properly in Opera6 and wont load in NS4.7

Yes, just change your pt units to px. You'll probably have to fiddle with the numbers a little bit to get it to look right. Using px will do is make your sizes a little bit more consistent across browsers. However, it still isn't perfect. If you look at this font gallery from Apple you'll see that there can be some variation no matter what measurement you use.
