trying to change font!!!

ok im back with what will probly be a really simple change, but i want to change my top tenu text to font-family:ITCBradleyHand;

but it wont change :( i have tried changing the font code around but still wont work :(

please help!!!

I don't use D6 anymore so i can't help, but i do want to point something else out that you might not be aware of. I did not see it mentioned in any of your other posts.

ITCBradleyHand is not a font preinstalled on most computers. As such, only those who have it installed will see it. Everyone else will see a fall back font. If one is not specified, the the browser picks one whatever it's defaults are set to.

So when you specify a non standard font, it should be placed in front of a fallback font list. So the origional fonts will be used if the primary font is not found. Like so.

font-family:ITCBradleyHand,Verdana,Arial;

My guess is 99% of your members will not even see that font because they won't have it installed.

Thats why it's not working then! as it was working fine day b4 yesterday, then i restored my laptop yesterday and since then the text went back to the standard font :(   dam, thanks for clearing that out to me :)

Additionally...

It is possible to embed fonts for download by the browser, and with the new css3 support in firefox 3.5 all browsers now support it. (Firefox was actually LAST to come to the party in this case) Of course older versions of IE are a tad quirky (why would the be anything else) but conditional formatting can easily take care of this.

There are some caveats of course - not all fonts are suitable (generally need to be TTF), and fonts will need to be converted to EOT for use with IE, plus there are the additional overheads. So if you absolutely must use this font it IS possible, but will require a bit of modification to get working.

But I digress... The font type is inherited from the body in this case, so to change it you actually need to add a definition

Find the following in templates/tmpl_uni/anchor.css

a.menu_item_link,
a.menu_item_link:link,
a.menu_item_link:visited
{
color:#336699;
}

and change it to

a.menu_item_link,
a.menu_item_link:link,
a.menu_item_link:visited
{
color:#336699;
font-family: Times New Roman;
}

Obviously replace the font with whatever you want, but taking into account Deanos comments. If you want to be 100% safe you should also define font types as well as nameed fonts - ie - serif / sans serif - this means that systems that do not have the font will substitute an equivilent.

Thanks for that i will try it now :)   so if i just copy and paste the code above (and change font to required one) then this will be visable to all that visit the site? if its either from firefox or ie ? of is this just for firefox users?
