Re: using * selector for font-family declaration

[Paulie_D]

It’s just not necessary.

By using [*] it’s applying the font property to every element (images etc) even though it might not need it.

Attaching it to the [body] element sets it for all **text** on the page body.

I’m not entirely sure but also I think using [*] is more specific than sub-elements of the body and so might override other settings.
