Thanks for that one. Strangely it's showing 'unused selectors',
several of which are font settings, which I *know* are being
used on one or more pages.

I've removed those two but elsewhere in 'align.css' I have in
the 'table' declaration . . . border-style: none;

I thought that was something caused by my using a
widescreen laptop.

I have the 'page width' set to 75em, is that likely
to be the problem ?

Why are you setting so many font-sizes and so big? Why like 1.5em and
1.65em for paragraphs and "arial" (btw, this latter is a sans serif font
so it is odd for your fallback to be listed as serif). There is more to
be done. I would suggest to simplify further, first. Try this: say
nothing in the CSS about fonts at all and see what happens.

I am reminded, don't ask why, of this:

Hotkey CTRL+SHIFT+J or on the far left of the toolbar are 3 icons from
left to right are compliance mode, css errors, javascript errors. When
there is an error the green check-mark will become a red "!" Click on it
to see the error console.
