 * Hey guys,
 * first things first, The theme I am having trouble with is the iconic one theme,
   not sure if I should post here?
 * but assuming its ok to ask questions then:
 * the problem i am having is after I @font-face(ed) a new font onto a blog it renders
   for pretty much everything except individual posts, these seem to fall back on
   rules in the html, rules which i am having a hard time locating.
 * site: [aportholewithaview.com](http://aportholewithaview.com/)
    e.g. of problem:
   [single post](http://aportholewithaview.com/2013/05/10/vajonny/)
 * how? where? what?
 * link to a [git hub of the project](https://github.com/need-another-word/aportholewithaview/issues/2)
 * so yeah, is this something which can be changed?

 * The posts are `<span>` elements with inline styling. I am not sure why they are
   not showing up as `<p>` elements. Edit one of the blog posts and see if you can
   change the code from `<span>`to `<p>`, also make sure there is no font style 
   applied inline.

 * Hey DylanAllen thanks for your reply I hadn’t noticed the posts where wrapped
   in the `<span>` tag, thank you for your insight, I went on to have a look at 
   that.
 * Turns out the `<span>` tag is from where I imported the content from a blogspot
   blog.
 * This it turns out is _also_ where imported the offending typeface (font) from,
   which is why I was unable to find the `font-family: Verdana;` any where in the
   php/template files.
 * I was able to work around the problem with:
 *     ```
       span[style] {
                font-size: 1.25em !important;
                font-family: "anke_calligraphic_fgregular", cursive, sans-serif !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * Which overrides the font from blog spot meaning the type face I wanted is now
   rendered.
