There is CSS overriding your actions;
.twt-buffer-button, .twt-o, .twt-o div, .twt-o blockquote, .twt-o .author, .twt-o .footer, .twt-border, .twt-o p, .twt-o ul, .twt-o ol, .twt-o li, .twt-o dl, .twt-o dt, .twt-o dd, .twt-o img, .twt-o a img, .twt-o a, .twt-o b, .twt-o i, .twt-o span, .twt-o time, .twt-o abbr, .twt-o iframe, .twt-timeline, .twt-timeline li {
font: normal normal normal 12px/16px "Helvetica Neue",Arial,sans-serif!important;
}
I recommend using !important on your font family and making sure your CSS selectors are specific.
Andrew, are you finding that CSS you quoted in the stylesheet? I’ve scanned it from top to bottom and am not seeing that language.
As always, thank you so much for your help on this.

Are you using a plugin to retrieve the quotes?

I believe you’re seeing the result of an embedded tweet. If you’re looking at the homepage, the tweet is embedded in the third visible post, headed “Oakland Trib Tells Critics To Get Over It.”
More on embedded tweets is here.
It’s not a plug-in, nor is it part of the stylesheet. So I’m not sure if that could be the culprit?

CSS needn’t be part of the stylesheet, assuming you mean part of your stylesheets or parent themes’.
https://dev.twitter.com/docs/embedded-tweets
Explains how embedded tweets use CSS, “This markup presents a Tweet in an attractive (and display guidelines compliant) way”.
Sure. But what I’m saying is that the css file you’re referring to above is the result of an embedded tweet in a single blog post. It’s not an element of the Mon Cahier theme, nor has it been added as a plug-in.
Do you believe that a CSS file that’s being called by an embedded tweet is responsible for my inability to change this blockquote font? Or could there be another reason for this?

Definite.
Only one way to find out — I’ll pull all the embedded tweets from the site and see if that resolves it. I’ll keep you posted!
OK, I pulled the embedded tweets and replaced them with jpgs. Then I did a test post with a blockquote. No change. I am sorry to say that that appears not to have been the issue!

I don’t understand, there is no blockquote anymore so how will your CSS have effect?
Gosh, I’m so sorry, but I don’t understand what you’re asking! Can you please elaborate?

Hi Eve,
I just went and looked at your site and I can’t see any blockquotes anywhere.
Can you provide a link to the page that has blockquotes?
