Thanks to all who contributed. I have now returned to good old reliable
pixels! Doing that, plus spelling out the declaration as individual
statements:
h6:first-letter {
color : #800000;
font-weight : bold;
font-style : normal;
font-size : 34px;
font-family : "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
}
to avoid the 'font : bold normal 36px . . .etc' confusion seems to make
it robust. If anyone doesn't see a larger brown first letter, followed
by pale brown oblique text in the remainder of the h6 example, please
tell me. [it would be nice if you knew how to fix the problem too ! :-) ]
The revised test file is still at
