Can’t make it the same font as that set for the site: it stubbornly remains the original.
Can anyone help, please?

Hi, I looked at your code, and the code itself will work, however the font you listed (the custom font) had the wrong font name. I looked and found the font stack used elsewhere for that font and copied over into the rule you have and it works. Use this instead of what you have and it should work just fine.
```
div.textwidget {
    font-family: ff-dagny-web-pro-1,ff-dagny-web-pro-2,Georgia,Times,"Times New Roman",serif;
    font-size: 12.5px;
}
```

Mr S., where does one go to find fonts’ correct family names? I had an idea that was the problem, and I tried various things (like adding ‘sans-serif’), while all the time knowing that fonts have long family names.
And what I don’t grasp about this one is that FF Dagny is sans-serif and Georgia isn’t.

Never mind: I do without question what you tell me to. Every time. (nd sometimes you hit your forehead with the heel of your hand … [grin]

But not this time …
Ah, the hero strikes again.
Now I await your pronouncements upon the other stuff …
And btw, Rich: everything you tell me is saved in .txt files: I have the ENTIRE CSS from Motif saved very carefully, believe me, for that time when/if I go back to it …
No swine I in terms of dem poils …
THANK-YOU !!!!!!!

I just looked for another font stack within the CSS, and I’m not sure why serif fonts were included in the font stack. Yes, it is strange.

Oh no, you didn’t save everything, did you? Hopefully you don’t use it against me at some point. :)

You are welcome.

Yer an idiot, Rich – has anyone told you?
Don’t go away, fer crissake! – I NEED you for my other query … the one about centering all the images in my sidebar …

I thought this was going to be an easy one. That’s what I get for thinking. ;-)

This gets part of it for you. I’ll have to work on the other images in the morning since I’m really tired and nothing is making sense.
```
.sidebar .wp-caption {
    margin-left: auto;
    margin-right: auto;
}
```

OK, me old china – no worries!
I won’t do anything until you’re happy with it.
Go right away from there!
And thanks so much, Rich …

Been a while, but you’re probably not back on duty.
I did use that small bit; and it did center some of the items, as you knew.
Can’t make head or tail of why it works with this one and not with that one …
Anyway, I sit back and await your return.

Ok, this is sort of a hacky way of doing it, but it catches the other images in widgets and center aligns them.
```
#freshly_pressed-2, #text-54 {
    text-align: center;
}
```

It does – all except the bloody publishers! So I removed the aligncenter and added a
<p style=”text-align:center;”></p>
and Bob was my uncle.
Thanks, Rich,
Thanks, Rich,
THANKS RICH !!!!! :-)
