Default font in shopsite

I have a site using shopsite 5.0.1.
I prefer using a "San-Serif" font when building any non shop site page so I
define all my custom pages with a "San-serif" font.. However when viewing
any pages generated by shopsite, it displays the pages using the "browsers"
default font. Which in my case in Microsoft Explorer is "Times New Roman"
which is a "Serif" font. (If I change my browser default then of course it
would show the entire site in a san-serif font, but I cant expect the user
to do that) I would like to know if there is a simple way to define what the
"default" font used by shopsite, so I can just set the font that shopsite
uses for its autogenerated pages to default to a "San-Serif" font. That way
all my pages will have the same consistant font no matter which page they
are viewing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There is no 'font' setting in ShopSite, but you can easily put a FONT
tag at the top of your universal header (Preferences -> Page Header &
Footer) which will change the font for the entire page.

Loren,

Boy was this a simple solution. Actually for clarity (and for anyone else

out there that may be reading this)
I put a
<font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">
at the very TOP of the HEADER field
and I put a
</font>
at the very BOTTOM of the FOOTER.
this sets the font for everthing in between...... the header and footer,
which in this case is the entire page......
THANKS..............
