  Hello,

  When validating my blog for CSS using the validator at http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/ there is only one small error:
  This style sheet: https://s-ssl.wordpress.com/wp-content/themes/h4/global.css contains a property ‘font-face’ on line 10, and the validator says “Property font-face doesn’t exist”.

  Based on the path to the CSS file, I assume it is part of the wordpress.com system (not part of a particular theme) and shared by all of us. If I validate the CSS by direct input, and I replace ‘font-face’ with ‘font-family’ it validates.

  I believe this is an error (the one who wrote the CSS used a property that seems not to exist in CSS, but was present in older versions of HTML) and the correct way to select a font would be by using ‘font-family’. I also understand that changes here would affect everyone, but in this case this shouldn’t happen. It is just a bug-correction not a design change.

  So my question is: Is it ok to change that and make it valid?

  Historically this type of thing is not at the forefront of their minds. :(

  It seems to have been fixed. I’ve checked the CSS file and the change is there, also the W3C validator says everything is valid. So we can now put the ‘Valid CSS’ image on our blogs :)
  This topic IS resolved.
