22,438 PointsError in CSS - Font Shorthand Property Order
Hello everyone! 👋🏻
I've noticed a font display issue in the project files for this course. It appears that there's a CSS error stopping the font from being displayed correctly. To address this, let's examine the 'headers.html' file in the course materials.
body {
background: #ECEEEF;
text-align: center;
margin: 100px auto;
max-width: 462px;
padding: 0 40px;
font: 18px normal 'Varela Round', Helvetica, serif;
color: #777B7E;
}
Upon closer inspection, it appears that the problem lies in the shorthand font declaration. The font weight normal
should come before the font size 18px
.
The corrected declaration should be:
font: normal 18px 'Varela Round', Helvetica, serif;
For a visual reference that explains the order in which the font shorthand properties should be applied, please refer to this flow chart:

Kind regards,
Berian
