    Default Change font family in drop down list

    You can use this page as an example http://www.theremotedoctor.co.uk/acc...llto=selection
    I would like to edit the text font for the ios, Pc is fine as it is.

    Using Firebug i have located where to change the font in the Pc drop down list but not for the ios.
    Ive then manually looked through the basic-style & normalize css file but dont see anything that points to where to make the change.

    In my html file i cahnged the code below
    HTML Code:
         <li class="current">
         <li><a href="website_instructions.html?scrollto=content">Instructions</a>
    To
    HTML Code:
         <li class="dropfont">
         <li><a href="website_instructions.html?scrollto=content">Instructions</a>
    I then added the following to the css file.
    HTML Code:
    .dropfont{
    	font-family:'Lucida Handwriting', sans-serif;}
    The above was just a test to see if anything changed, but no such luck.

    I never realized that until last year when my friend wanted a specific font and it didn't work. I thought that I was going crazy.

    You might want to look into font stacks so that you can be a bit more creative with font choices while offering similar alternative fallbacks for when your first choice isn't installed on the viewing device https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=font+stacks
