I don't know if that's really what the DCForum admin form is doing; it was just speculation on my part. It has a set of form fields you plug the names of fonts you want to appear into, and those fields are all named "(something) font face", so I suspect font face= is what it's slotting them into on the backend, but I don't really know. Keep in mind that DCF predates the complete ubiquity of CSS, and the deprecation of a half-million things that used to be done with flags inside HTML tags and are now customarily done with CSS, by a couple of thousand Internet Years, so if there's a Best Practice for doing that kind of thing, it is almost certainly not what DCF is doing.

Not sure why it would have gone to Times (that didn't happen for me); I didn't have the list of possible fonts comma-delimited, which might have caused it to do something that confused your browser and made it fall back to the default. I just went back and added commas to the list, basically just to see what would happen. If it does something really terrible, I'll just set it all back to Verdana and forget I messed around with it.

Apologies if this is really super-annoying anybody. One of the many shortcomings of DCF is that it hasn't got a sandbox, you have to make these changes live and just see what happens.
