cfdocument scaling

I have a fairly long HTML page which produces a PDF via CFDocument, but this apparently has a mind of its own, as it is not obeying the font sizes I put in. Whether it is 10pt or 50pt, it comes out exactly the same. So I can't tell if I'm missing something, or it's just not working. I've tried putting the CSS directly inside the CFDocument tag, in the stylesheet, etc., no change.

I think it may have something to do with the scaling mentioned at the bottom of the LiveDocs page for CFDocument, though I can't get it to scale back up to 100%. It looks larger on page with less data, and smaller on pages with a lot of data. Suggestions?

I believe I solved my own problem, but will post for others with the same problem -- I ran the HTML source through a validator, and found some tag mismatches. Once these were repaired, the formatting started behaving again.

I know this is many years past, but I am having something similar when using the cfdocumentitem type="footer" -- I have the same exact HTML/CSS font-size in the body and the type="header". However, the type="footer" section sacles the font smaller. They both have 

font-size:12pt !important;

but the footer seems to be scaled to 10pt.
