This will work in paragraphs:

p{
font-family: verdana
font-size: 100% OR 12px
}

You can play with the px or % values until you get the size you want. p.s You can usually find this sort of stuff by googling for it ;).

What google do you use? ;)
http://www.google.com/search?q=font+css

You can also just look it up.
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/intro.html
That thing thing comes with a table of contents
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/cover.html#minitoc
a index
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/indexlist.html
and handy-dandy table over properties
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/propidx.html

{ font: Verdana } doesn't work because 'font' is a shorthand property and you need, at a minimum, to use values for font-family and font-size.

What terms are you trying? The simplest terms "CSS font" returns loads of results, and plenty of examples.

Second result is the W3C CSS font specification.

It doesn't work because at a minimum the font shorthand property requires a font size and font family.
font: 12px verdana;
