CSS Font Problem

  • Hi, maybe you can help me figure out a mystery.
    I am trying to get all of my fonts on my site to be Tahoma but for some reason, it keeps turning into verdana or aral. I can’t see why it would not work. any ideas?

  • with your fav text editor, edit the style sheet in your main wp dir. wp-layout.css see the wiki docs for help.

    In your css, you still have trebuchet and verdana set.
    body {
    margin-top:0px;
    margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px;
    font-family : “Trebuchet MS”, Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    Check your a tag too.
    It wouldn’t hurt to drop a font-family or similar into each id (#) and class (.)

    I use the style switcher and I am editing in topstyle.

    Sorry – my earlier reply was to your mt install which is linked from your profile.
    Your font-families are giving a choice, and for some reason, it’s ignoring Tahoma, and hopping to Verdana.
    You could try just having Tahoma in there …. or selecting fonts other than those you have.
    font: 11px Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    CSS ‘font-family’ guides the system basically saying “Here’s what I want, if the system hasn’t got the first font, try the second, if not that the third etc”
    If the CSS were mine, I’d drop everything *but* Tahoma just to see what happens.

    No, that didn’t work. =(

    If you followed my suggestion, clear out your temp files and try again.

    I do not know if this will help but here is what I would do. You say you want one font throughout. Well I would remove the whole lot except the fonts styled in the body selector. Then I would strip that back to a minimum to test. I might increase the size by a big bit just to check we have control of the beast. In particular I would check the syntax in the finest detail. Do capital letters make a difference? Have I got my quotes in? Is sans-serif really with a hyphen? Well I do not know. But that is where I would look. Good luck.

    No, its the same. I am looking at the slope of the “M” .

    Well, I am not one for fine detail but it looks like Tahoma on my end. Try a test by replacing Verdana with something like wing-dings (just kidding, but you get my drift) so there is more contrast between the two.

    That anon was me. Looks like were making progress.

    It’s definitely Tahoma on my screen, not Verdana.
    Perhaps there’s some kind of problem with your browser’s font handling, or maybe with your Tahoma itself? Or something?
    Nice site, btw (especially now that it says WP at the bottom, not MT) ??
