Header menu weight - SOLVED

ETA: Solved thanks to av8rmike!

Hello, I have a question which I couldn't solve looking through the tags and tutorial index.

I'm wondering how to change the weight of my header links into bold. I tried using font-weight: bold; in the .header-menu part of the css, but it doesn't seem to work. My code is under the cut:

/* Cleaned CSS: */

The problem doesn't seem to be the CSS syntax. It looks to be this:
.header-menu {
...
font-family: sans-serif, Arial;
font-size: 7.5pt;
...

I think the Arial font doesn't support bolded fractional sizes, because when I changed the size to 8pt, it went bold, and same thing when I changed the font-family to Tahoma.

av8rmike, thanks for pointing this out to me! I changed the font size to 8px, and it worked perfectly, plus I changed the font family to Georgia. It's one of my favorite fonts, and it works well with Ezra being a Southern gambler :). My next goal is to rework the header, as soon as I find the time.

Thanks for helping me get closer to what I envisioned for my journal.
