Setting defealt font (outside of <p>)

I'm currently about 98% complete my first WordPress theme, just needing to add a few things here and there, and set the default text of the page to a certain font

In my sidebar, the widgets and other items don't use the <p> function, and so they display in the default font of that browser - is there anyway I can change this so that I can tell it what font to use

e.g. something like .{font-family: arial} or something like that?

 

In your css file add the following:

body
{ font-family:arial; }

Code (markup):

This will make all of the code into arial. If you specify any other types, like p or h1 or divs/classes, with a different font they will change.

 

ahh - it's so simple - guess I was looking for something a little more complex

To get around it I just specified the font in every single div I needed it in, but will change it

Cheers
