Scott,

That seems odd, I wonder if you have somehow written the
declaration wrong and gotten the system default sans-serif
in place of the intended Arial Narrow?

I just made a quick test case in a local file and used the
following to see how it looks.

CSS
.arialnarrow  {font-family: "Arial Narrow";}
.arial        {font-family: arial;}
.sansserif    {font-family: sans-serif;}

Markup
<p class="arialnarrow">Text sample here.</p>
<p class="arial">Text sample here.</p>
<p class="sansserif">Text sample here.</p>

This behaved as I would have expected, with Arial Narrow
being very markedly condensed compared to the other two.

What happens if you use Arial Narrow in a productivity
app like a word prcessor? Is it rendered narrower than
Arial in that case?
