different font on posts page than on single post

    Very curious. Starting a while back I’m getting a different font in the posts as they appear on the posts page (“latest”) than as they are created and appear as individual posts.

    All the posts on the current post page show the different font (Times); those on “Older posts” don’t (show trebuchet). I don’t know if we started doing something different there or the difference lies in the way the “Older Posts” page works.

    When I look at the source code of the problem pages, there’s a lot of “MSO” style stuff. This makes me think it has something to do with pasting directly from M$ Word (Mac) rather than using the Paste from Word function. But that doesn’t explain why the problem doesn’t exist in the individual posts. Why is there none of the ‘MSO’ stuff in the individual posts and how does it get into the ‘latest’ page–but not into the “older posts” page?

  • a lot of “MSO” style stuf

    You cannot paste from word. It introduces its own css with is non-standard.

    Why is there none of the ‘MSO’ stuff in the individual posts and how does it get into the ‘latest’ page–but not into the “older posts” page?

    I don’t know. Just don’t paste from word and all will be well.

    Unfortunately pasting straight from Word is not the problem. We created the latest post by using the Word import function on the new post page and are still getting the same result–the font is correct on the single post page but on ‘latest’, which shows all the posts, the font changes to Times. Strangely this is only on the recent posts, not on “older posts” pages.

    All the posts on p. 1 of ‘latest’ show the wrong font. All the posts on the ‘older posts’ pages show the right font. Yet when I look at the source code, each entry (those that are correct and those that show ‘Times’) has div class = entry-content. Yet for some reason the <p> under the class ‘entry-content’ on p. 1 of ‘latest’ is changing the font to “Times” but not under the posts for “older pages.”

    The site is set up to use a static page (home) for the home past and ‘latest’ for the posts page.

    Thanks.

    @kmessinger is right – the problem is still caused by the ‘mso’ stuff, for example in the post ‘People on a parallel way’.

    remove all the ‘mso’ stuff from all the posts…
