You cannot rely on any given font being available or used even if

Indeed, this is a FP limitation I think, typically you would specify you
font choice as a prioritised list rather than a single font - that way
it degrades more gracefully on odd browser setups.

available. Font size under HTML is expressed as 7 numbers (1 to 7) with 1
being the smallest, there is no fixed relationship between these numbers
and a size in points (1/72nd of an inch). The generally accepted default
size for body text is 3, your pages set 2 for body text.

You can also specify fonts in points, in which case they will look about
right if the screen DPI setting matches the monitor size, or you can
also specify pixel dimensions making the page layout more precise, but
less accessible.

Then bear in mind that both font and size can also be overidden by the
browser at the users discretion...

In most cases yes.

Mouse over & active are blue on my screen with no drop shadow.

Each "button" is outlined with a 1 pixel black box. An "active" box has a
4 pixel wide dark grey section inside this along the base and right side,
the drop shadow. The fill is a light grey. Text is blue/purple. An
inactive box has light grey for the drop shadow and white fill, mouse over
the drop shadow goes white and the fill goes grey. Text colour never
changes.

This is probably down to Frontpage and MS. Different versions of Frontpage
generate pages that only render as expected under some versions of
Internet Explorer. Use a different browser and things can just be
"different" (like the buttons) or a complete and utter mess with images
overlapping text and so on.

Indeed, its not even consistent on successive versions of IE. The other
problem with most FP templates is they scream FP Template at you!
