Change font in Base 3 is not working

zentoolsIf you use Zentools please post a review at the Joomla! Extensions Directory.

I am trying to change the fonts in the base 3 template to "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif. And it does not work.

The site has this in the index.php head code that overides all other changes

<style type="text/css">
html > body {font-family: 'sans-serif'}
h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, blockquote {font-family: 'sans-serif'}
#navwrap li {font-family: 'sans-serif'}
#logo a {font-family: 'sans-serif'}


{font-family:'sans-serif';}


</style>

How do I fix this?

FYI I used css in the custom.css to change the fonts, but still would like to know why setting it in the theme manager does not do it?

If you change font choices does it still stick with sans-serif?

Are you a mac or pc user?

Yes it stays san serif. In the theme I have it set to the Helvetica font family.

I am using a mac and google chrome.

Hi Jeremy,

Helvetica is the font osx serves when you use sans serif in the font stack. And Arial gets served on PCs. Since Pc's dont have Helvetica using the term sans serif is a standard practice for rendering Helvetica on computers that have it.
Hope that helps.

Then why is it showing a serif font?

Turn off my custom.css code and you will see that the font setting in the theme are not working

Sorry about that. looks like its because of the quotation marks around the declaration.

Your custom css is fine for now though and ill release an update this coming week.

thanks
