I just deleted all of the css noted in the the link you sent in your first response, but the only thing that accomplished was allowing the #000 to be displayed instead of the gradient. The font will still not display as Verdana bold even though my css is as follows:
/*:Intro ~*~*/
#intro .intro_title{/*:Intro Title Font */
color:#000;font-size:36px;font-weight:bold;font-style:normal;font-family:Verdana, Geneva, Tahoma, sans-serif;}
#intro .teaser{/*:Intro Description Font */
color:#000;font-size:17px;font-weight:bold;font-style:normal;font-family:Verdana, Geneva, Tahoma, sans-serif;}
#slider_module+#intro h3{/*:Call to Action Font*/
color:#000;font-size:28px;font-weight:bold;font-style:normal;font-family:Verdana, Geneva, Tahoma, sans-serif;}
Nothing I do to the css seems to alter the font being displayed. I have tried Arial, Verdana and several of the other Cufon fonts available, but when I update the skin, the changes are not applied to the font-family.
