I'm having a problem with completing my Xanga skin. As you can see from the screenshot that is provided for you below:



Website: Http://xanga.com/TESTING092305

The main font does not match with the link fonts. (Which is supposed to be Terminal). If you'd like you can take a look at the skin code. Though, I don't know why the font isn't changing to terminal. Help?

Under your table.blogbody portion it has "family-font" - flip that to "font-family"

Hmmm... instead of the "font-family" try just "font"... at least, that's what I use in my layouts. Erase the size stuff and instead do this:
"font:9px arial;" - for some reason, that works better.

That's odd. Still, it doesn't work.

CODE
font,td,p,xmp
{color:black;
font: 8px terminal;
font-weight:normal;
text-transform: uppercase;
You're missing the }. It kinda bothers me. It also bothers me because it's "Terminal". It works a helluva lot better if you capitalize it.
&drilotedahl, what you said made no sense. First of all, it's not Xanga that host the font... It's your computer. Second, if the links work... Then why should the blog font not work?

Uh, back to the point.
CODE
.left, .blogbody, table.footer, .standard, .leftmodulefontcolor, td{font: 10pt Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; color: #000000; text-align:justify;}
Try using that instead.
