  Hi, can you point me to the CSS that isn’t working and I’ll take a look for you.

  Actually, sorry, I see you have only one font family declaration in your CSS. Since the h1-h6 headings “inherit” the font from body, you can simplify your selector like this:

  body {
      font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif" !important;
  }

  Change that to the following. The issue has to do with the quote marks. Quote marks are only required around font names which are two words, with a space in between, such as Unicode MS.

  body {
      font-family: Arial "Unicode MS",sans-serif !important;
  }

  Some browsers will see what you had and say, ok, I know what they mean. Some browsers are very rigid in their CSS interpretation. IE is rigid. :)
