I to have been getting the same error even though I have been providing a
generic alternative.
After looking through my CSS over and over I noticed that I had 'mono'
instead of 'monospace'. Once fixed the CSS validated without warnings.
I then noticed that Dreamweaver MX 2004 (I only use it for source coding -
honest) has 'mono' in it's pre-set font lists. Users beware.... (I'll raise
the issue with Macromedia).
