One css declaration for all css font properties

Question

What is the proper syntax for putting all css font properties into one value.

body {font: 12px, arial, red}

Something like that but with all the selectors and properties.

Answer 1

body{
    font: bold italic 15px/20px arial,sans-serif;
    color: red;
}

you can't include the color as part of the declaration. 15px/20px = font-size/line-height

nice link, maegar!

Answer 2

font: [ [ <'font-style'> || <'font-variant'> || <'font-weight'> ]? <'font-size'> [ / <'line-height'> ]? <'font-family'> ] | caption | icon | menu | message-box | small-caption | status-bar | inherit
