Change the font for Receipt Email

Does anyone know how I can change the font in my Receipt Email, do i need to update the global style.css or is there another way?  If so, what css reference would i add.

At the moment the email font is Times New Roman, but the rest of the site is Arial?? When I change the font in the email WYSIWYG, it doesn't apply arial.

Please help!

Thanks,

Louise.

 

HTML emails can be extremely tricky and a lot of work. But, if all you are wanting to do is change the font, just change to code view and wrap the message in a div:

<div style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">

// your content here

</div>

If you are targeting outlook, even outlook2010 is disappointing. You have to use old school ways to make HTML emails, e.g., inline style, table for layout etc etc.

If you really want to get into building great HTML emails you need to be sure to see how each email client uses CSS:
