If you could show the page itself I could give you more precise advice. This is just a basic CSS question... are you familiar with how to work with CSS yet? If not I'd suggest learning about CSS as it will make everything much easier (google for some good free lessons, or if you like books, CSS Mastery is my favorite for learning CSS). Also, be sure to install the Firebug extension for Firefox... www.getfirebug.com ... which you can click the "Inspect" button on which lets you click anywhere on the page and learn exactly what CSS is affecting it.
You have an additional CSS file called custom_fonts.css which includes this line: body { font-family:Tahoma,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; }
That is setting all the fonts to Tahoma.
The way CSS works is that there is an order of "specificity". Things that are more specific override things that are less specific. In the case of your CSS files you have these coming from your theme:
Since custom_fonts.css comes after style.css, it is "more specific" and so anything in it overrides things in style.css. Personally when making my own CSS from scratch I avoid multiple style sheets like this, since it gets confusing which file has which rules and which is overriding what. I like to keep everything in one single, well-organized style.css file.
actually one last question! how can i change the blue font into white? i placed this #FFFFFF in several diff spots but nothing seems to work. Would you happen to know?
