Why does site not display everything in Arial? - 11/16/2008 9:18:55
I'm new to using CSS in Expression Web. I built my web site in Front Page and used FPSE styles to ensure that all the font displayed as Arial. Now, I'm using CSS but some of the font is displaying as Times New Roman, both when I edit the page in Expression Web and when I view it on the Internet. e.g. Look at the black text on this page:
www.edinphoto.org.uk/1_edin/1_edinburgh_history_-_recollections_gorgie.htm
WHAT I DID:
1 I set up a style sheet to ensure that each of these would display as Arial: font, a, a_active, a_hover_, a_link and a_visited. (I don't use Heading,1, 2, 3 ..)
Is that what I should have done?
2. I attached the style sheet to all pages on the site. I attached it as a link (not an import).
Is that what I should have done?
THE RESULT:
3. Most, but not all the text displays as Arial. See example above.
4. In Expression Web, when I click on the text that is displaying as Times New Roman the menu bar describes this text as 'Default Font' and 'Default Size'.
What's going wrong?
5. Since I set up CSS in Exression Web, a couple of weeks ago, I've gone back to updating the web site in Front Page most of the time (because I found Expression Web to be very slow). Might this have caused a problem, and if so, how can I solve it?
Is there anything else you need me to tell you?
I look forward to any advice you have, because I can't work out what to do next.

Hi Tailslide:
Thanks for your quick reply. That's very helpful.
I'll take your advice and change both te name of the style sheet (removing the '+' signs) and the content (as you suggest).
I'll start by changing the content then probably make the change to the name overnight tonight if all goes well.
I've just made this change to the content. I hope that's OK. If not, I'll have to change it again.
body {
background-image: url('0_B/0_background_for_theme_brighter.jpg');
}
body {
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
}
a {
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
}
a:active {
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
text-decoration: underline;
}
a:hover {
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
text-decoration: underline;
}
a:link {
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
text-decoration: underline;
}
a:visited {
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
text-decoration: underline;
}
I made the change above a couple of minutes ago, but it could be two or three hours before I see whether it has worked or not because the site has about 17,000 pages! I'll let you know what it looks like once Expression Web come back to life again.

Success!
In fact, it took Expression Web about fifteen minutes to make the change to the css page, so I've now been able to see the result, both when I view he pages in Expression Web or Front Page and when I view them on the Internet.
It worked.
I still have a little tidying up to do for fonts on a few individual pages, when I can find time to do that, but the main thing is that the default font is now working as I wanted, so the whole site is looking tidier again now.
I'll make the change to the name of the css page, overnight tonight.
Thanks for your help. I appreciate it.
