I'm not sure what size you were looking at since I haven't given the URL yet but the site in question is www.Niebrugge.com and the skin in question is the one used on the Skin Demo page. As for the single quotes around the Arial Narrow font name, it doesn't seem to have any affect one way or another as I've already tried both.

Also, the code:

.MainMenu_MenuItem {
  ...
  FONT-FAMILY: Arial Narrow, Helvetica;
  ...
}
and

.MainMenu_MenuItemSel {
  ...
  FONT-FAMILY: Arial Narrow, Helvetica;
  ...
}

are not duplicates. One is for the MenuItem and one is for the MenuItemSel.

Still no luck on getting the font changed. Anyone else have any idea on how to do this?

Dear GrfxDan73

First. You haven't give the URL, but this was the URL I was looking at. Wondering how I find it?... Doesn't matter...
Second. I've not said that the styles .MainMenu_MenuItem and .MainMenu_MenuItemSel are the same. I've said that in your default.css you have set the menu styles twices... But that was wrong. On the one side the style .Module_MenuItem and .MainMenu_MenuItem and on the other side .Module_MenuItemSel and .MainMenu_MenuItemSel are the same. Sorry for that.
Third. I'm still sure that the fontstyle in your .MainMenu_MenuItem and in .MainMenu_MenuItemSel is wrong.
If anyone else will look at this, you're free to ask it.

Vriendelijke groeten

Doesn't anyone know how to do this? I see the thread has had over 50 views but nobody's been able to offer a solution to what would seem like a very simply problem. Can someone please help...

I've been looking at this.  Here's a couple things.

In the view source for your skin demo page, there is a SPAN with a dnn_dnnMENU ID.  There is a call to fonts there that begins with FontStyle="font-family:....".    It looks like where you have FontStyle, you might really want just "STYLE" and then ="font-family:'arial narrow', tahoma," etc.  ALSO the end of that style statement ends with a text-decoration: that doesn't finish.  It might need a "none" and it's probably good to end it with a semi-colon; and then close quotes.

I'm not certain about the call to arial narrow with the single quotes or no quotes.  You'll have to see after you fix the statement, but if you're seeing Tahoma (as I am) it would stand to reason that the browser is ignoring the 'arial narrow' call.  To me it looks like Tahoma 12pt which is what's next in your STYLE statement.  You could try an underscore for the space maybe - but it seems to be ignoring it now.

Also, I would do a project wide search for "FontStyle" because I saw it in a view source for another page there so it could be causing problems even if you fix it in the source code for this skin demo page.

I think that's it - Try it out.

Alternately, according to one of my books, the attribute could also be "fontnames" So it could be fontnames="'arial narrow', tahoma, arial, helvetica;" and then fontsize as an attribute with a number and fontbold="true or false"

I actually figured this one out on my own. Without looking at my CSS file it would have been very hard to diagnose the problem. As it turns out there was a style definition for the TD tag that was causing the font to be Tahoma, 9pt, bold. Once I removed it everything else worked fine. The font Arial Narrow even works with or without single quotes around it. Now, on to my next issue: How to use a non-standard font and have it display correctly for all visitors, even it they don't have the font on their computer. I know this is possible but it's been a while since I've done it and can't remember how it's accomplished.

Thanks to all who tried to help with my CSS font issues.
