Justin,

Sorry this has taken so long. My week was pretty full of other sorts a fun. But I'm pretty sure my version of Infusion is 1.4. I was mistaken, that's the instance Colin custom built me, not the Studio's one. Not that it matters. Thanks for the link. It did help get my head around it. 

No problem. It's really quite fun. And figuring this stuff out helps me better understand how things are working and, in turn, insure such solutions are running efficiently.

UIO will actually pick from a selection of fonts, depending on what's available on your system. The default will be to use Georgia for Times New Roman.

Which is most likely documented somewhere, but I don't recall reading it anywhere, not that I've read much on UIO before this. Not that this behaviour is necessarily undesirable but you are free to do whatever you want on the html element (up to, and including, 260%, it seemed silly to exceed that). And what is most interesting is everything still works (testing still pending).
>> 
>> 2. And I use Georgia as my base font. And I noticed this before, when I switch to "Times New Roman" nothing happens. I figured it might be a result of my using the html element for all the font goodness, but no deal. Is this supposed to happen? Does "Times New Roman" have to match exactly for it to work? Or should any Times font suffice? Before I crack off I should really check if I even have "Times New Roman" installed on my machine. Oops, too late.
