Opera ignores font-family verdana?

Hello,

This is the site in question:
www.andrewcharron.com

In IE and FF the website shows up fine. However, Opera likes to use its own font (Im not even sure what font it is), so some things get misaligned, and don't look right because they arent using the font specified (Verdana).

Heres a link to the CSS:
www.andrewcharron.com/templates/v5/v5.css

If someone could figure this one out, it'd be great. I dont know why it ignores the font-family in the body css attribute.

Thanks

(Note: I just noticed a few small alignment bugs in FF too, but im sure that has to do with the fact that FF and IE render sizes [padding/margin/border] differently)

Is it your default sans-serif font perhaps? I don't normally use Opera, but that would be my first hunch.

Opera uses verdana. Probably you override default presentation mode as user mode instead of author mode.

Looks like the same font to me? Although it looks like there is a slight difference in font size between FF and Opera.

I have to agree, Opera 9.10 is using Verdana, but it is slightly smaller in Opera than in FF. You may have to up the font-size a tad. 67.5% = about 10px -- which is kinda small to start with.
