Description Peter Yates 2012-05-16 23:29:20 UTC 
when declaring the font size and line height in the font declaration with a forward slash between them in the format: 130%/150% the validator tells me that / is not a font family value.  Sites which were valid previously now fail because of this "error".

Confirmed this issue, e.g.

p {
  font: 14px/21px Arial;
}

Same with CSS 3 by the way.
Comment 3 Gérard Talbot 2012-07-31 03:02:52 UTC 
I set 
Platform: All
OS: All

and I confirm Peter Yates' findings. 

I have now lots of webpages with a reported CSS validation error but it's definitely the CSS validator that has the bug.

Fixed with new font-* code for all CSS levels.
