Looking through your site with firebug, can’t see that font being utilised, have you cleared your cache tho?
Simple way, ctrl+F5 – this forces a server to download everything again.
The css file says helvetica when I view it. Try clearing your browser cache and visiting your site again.
@fonglh, I’ve cleared the cache several times. Yes, I’ve changed the CSS to helvetica, so I believe the code is correct for helvetica to displat on my site but it’s not. Are you seeing Helvetica font for all the headings on my website? Helvetica is almost a twin to Arial font. I still see DroidSerifRegular font when looking at my website.
That would be strange if you can see the helvetica font but I can’t…
I don’t have helvetica on my computer, so the browser will use whatever the default font is as you didn’t specify any alternatives.
I’ve got helvetica on my computer. This is so strange, if I keep the fonts as droidSerifRegular and view my website, I can open firebug and replace the droidSerifRegular with helvetica and the font changes to helvetica. but then I go to my style.css and make the same changes and nothing happens… still droidSerif…
Fonglh, you have no idea how much I appreciate your help. Even if I’m still having trouble, I appreciate your input. so a huge thank you!
Here, this is the start of my stylesheet, maybe the specified webfonts have something to do with the problem?
@font-face {
font-family: 'helvetica';
src: url('fonts/DroidSerif-Regular-webfont.eot');
src: local('☺'), url('fonts/DroidSerif-Regular-webfont.woff') format('woff'), url('fonts/DroidSerif-Regular-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'), url('fonts/DroidSerif-Regular-webfont.svg#webfontEtSsk1JN') format('svg');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
* {
font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Geneva, sans-serif;
margin: 0;
color:#555;
font-weight:normal;
}
Ah, and thank you too @webdevsonline 🙂 You guys make me happy for responding.
If you simply want to use helvetica, just take out the entire @font-face declaration. You don’t need it at all and that should eliminate all of the calls to Droid.
Christine, thank you 🙂 Of course, I should have though of that 😛 You’re right, I don’t need droidSerif at all, I deleted it and everything works fine now 🙂 Thank you Christine! Thanks guys!
