Not an urgant problem, but it annoys me anyway!

I want my font in Verdana. The first lines will be verdana until I enter a [p], and then it'll be in arial for some reason until I insert a [p] again and it'll go back to verdana, I'm really confused and it's a little unsightly D:

Try this...

HTML Code:

<style>
body, html {font-family: Verdana;}
</style>

I was viewing your HTML source and noticed that you don't have the HTML or Body tags in your pages. You should include them in all of your pages.

If you add them and then use rooney's suggestion, you should have the Verdana font showing up.

Hmmm, you know, I've never been in the habit of adding those because they never really made sense to me.

Could you give me a quick lesson on what those tags are for, exactly? Or maybe point me somewhere that would? =)

One thing you could do about the problem with the fonts, is in your css styelsheet, under the section for "p" include font-family: Verdana

so it would read like this (the addition is in bold):

p {
font-size: 12px;
line-height: 22px;
margin-top: 20px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
font-family: Verdana;
}

I don't know if that will solve the problem, but give it a try.

The HTML tag basically indicates that the markup language used in the document is HTML, and the Body indicates the actual content of the Web page.

When using the tags they would look like:

<html>
<head>
(specify any header information such as title, meta tags, and CSS files here)
</head>
<body>
(The actual content of the Web page should go here)
</body>
</html>

Ah huh. Well that's a lot more basic than I was trying to make it xD

So then why is that sort of thing nesecary? Just so strange problems like mine won't happen?

Ya know, I re-read your post earlier and I just realized that my previous post was not helpful at all... for some reason, I thought you said that when you start a <p> tag, the font changes from Verdana to Arial.

Anyway, sorry about the misunderstanding

That's fine, I'm just flattered you volunteered to try and help me at all!
