Problem isn't the semi-colon at the end though it could be the double semi-colon. You don't call custom class using the style attribute in your html. That is for creating inline styles where it would be:
<font style="font-size: 10pt; color: #000000; font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: left;"> You use the class attribute. You probably shouldn't be doing it using the <font> tag either. <p class="preamble">Text</p> Or if you are using it inline: <p><span class="preamble">preamble text.</span><br> <span class="main">more text here...</span><br> <span class="postable">Final bits of whatever.</span></p> It would be a bit easier to diagnose if there was a url where we could look at the problem 'in action' as it were. Other problems is that you mixed html font syntax in with css syntax. Font-color should be color Font-align should be text-align I'm not going to address the issue of specifying text in pt sizes other than to say that pt size isn't consistent across browser much less cross platform and cannot be resized in the most commonly used web browser (Internet Explorer) which can lead to usability/accessibility problems for those on Mac or high resolution monitors.
