In FrontPage I have the default proportional font set as
Arial. When I prieview the page or view it in my
browser, the font is Times Roman. Even if I link a style
sheet that sets:

p {font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt }

I still get Times Roman when it's viewed. It shows as
Arial in design mode though. What up with that?
 
Ron,

When you set the default font, that only impacts what font is used to
display within FrontPage. It only affects the text you see when editing,
not what is used when the page is viewed in your browser. It's a standard
feature in most editors but is quite confusing in FrontPage since most users
seem to infer that it will affect the published page.

The fact that your CSS doesn't appear to work is odd, though. Are you sure
the CSS link is correct? What if you embed the declaration in the <head> of
the document, is the correct font used then?

Is there a page online that we can look at?
 
Jack,

Thanks! Double checking, I found an error in the css
link. Corrected it and all seems well.

Ron
