How are you adding this CSS?
To discover what CSS is output by your theme, use a web inspection tool such as Firebug: http://getfirebug.com/ , Chrome Inspect Element: https://developers.google.com/chrome-developer-tools/ or Internet Explorer 9+ F12 Dev. Tools: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd565627(v=vs.85).aspx#csstool
There are others.
When editing CSS, use a Child Theme

Custom CSS Plugin, or Theme provided custom CSS option.
Edits to parent themes are lost on theme update.

I’m not missing the closing ) in the file just didn’t have it in this message. I’ve tried getfirebug, again can’t see any changes. I tried using a custom css plugin and putting code in that but again can’t see any changes to the site, I am stuck
oh and just to add, I won’t be updating the theme so I am happy to change the parent theme if need be its not a problem
If you don’t update the theme your site will eventually have compatibility and/or security issues. Not a good idea at all.
Start by looking into quite a few validation errors on your site:

It also looks like a theme stylesheet (css/foundation.css) is being loaded after your changes so you may need to make your more specific or use the !important rule.
oh okay I didn’t know that about not updating the themes. well I was having trouble changing the css also with the menu but I just finally managed to do that, will keep trying with default font. that’s good info about the foundation.css didn’t realise that either 🙂 thanks guys, I’ll keep fiddling around with the css
