i would like to have all my HTML elements to have a
set font say "verdana 12 bold'. unless otherwise specified
in my css file.

*** this should include form elements etc, h1, h2 etc. ***

is this possible ?

No, you don't :-)

assuming point is what you're after. You didn't specify any length for the
font-size.

You said 'all my html elements'. Why do you think these would be excluded?

If you insist and just for the fun of the example:

* {
font-family:Verdana; /*but please don't*/
font-size:12pt; /*but please don't*/
font-weight:bold; }

Could work. Not tested though.

Please don't use Verdana, or 12px, or bold for regular content text.
The reasons are discussed in these groups almost daily as to why those
are all a Bad Idea.

body, td, th {
font: 100% sans-serif;
}

will cascade to just about everything.

h1 { font-size: 150%; } etc..
..legalese { font-size: 85%; }

Yes, but it's a bad idea.
