font change with product multi column

I have managed to implement auto column scripts, which will make browsing the product far easier!
However, the products are now displayed using times new roman instead of veranda. I am using the 247 actinic layout. Is there a way of changing the font back to veranda?
cheers!

Wierd! That shouldn't happen. The existing fonts (presumably from actinic.css) should be used, assuming you're using a recent version of Actinic.
Alternatively are you using an old version; if so what is it?
Can you let me know the address of a multi column page on your site so I can take a look?

HI Norman
I havent uploaded it yet as I wanted to get the font issue sorted first - it looks a bit messy .
I am also putting the product descriptions into extended info so that there is just a name image quantity & add to cart displayed.
I can send you a couple of screen shots if that helps
I'm using V6
running windows xp professional
preveiwing in i.e.
In design options> site defaults I have three properites
ACTSDWIDTH - value 570
ACTSFONTFAMILY - value veranda,geneva,etc
NUMCOLS- value 3
I only get the font change on sections that I have used Actinic original product template for the product layout.
Also is there a way of making the price display below the image rather than to the right of it? If I put a <br> after this line in act_productline would that do it?
<td valign="TOP" align="CENTER"> NETQUOTEVAR:TEMPLATEBEGINXML NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTIMAGE </td>
thanks

It looks (but with no page to see I'm only guessing) that you're using an old non-CSS theme.
Could you please post the original Act_ProductLine.html. Or Act_ProductLine(n).html where (n) is 1,2,3,4. That way I can see what you had before.

I just looked at a 24x7 themed site and it seems to not use CSS. You'll have to edit the multi-column Act_ProductLine.html (or whatever you called it) and replace all
<span class="actregular">
with
<FONT FACE="CUSTOMVAR:ACTCSSFONTFAMILY" SIZE="+1">
and replace all
<span class="actxsmall">
with
<FONT FACE="CUSTOMVAR:ACTCSSFONTFAMILY" SIZE="-1">
and finally replace all
</span>
with
</FONT>
Also check Design / Options / Site Defaults / Properties and make sure that ACTCSSFONTFAMILY is Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif as there is no Veranda font - it should be Verdana.

As to moving the price display around. Yes you can move the
<br><b>NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTPRICE</b>
to just after NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTIMAGE but you may also need to surround it with
<FONT FACE="CUSTOMVAR:ACTCSSFONTFAMILY" SIZE="-1">
and
</FONT>
as there is no font set in the image cell.
E.g. use
<FONT FACE="CUSTOMVAR:ACTCSSFONTFAMILY" SIZE="-1"><br><b>NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTPRICE</b></FONT>

"veranda" that was my bad typing
the property value is
Verdana etc.
Thank you again
I will make the changes and put it right.
