   How can I change my blockquote font to one of the Cufon fonts?

   Thanks for your help!

   See the cufon video tutorial. there you can see how to target with cufon. use Firebug to find the the tags/classes (custom:blockquote). If you don't want to upload a new font you have to change the code in the cufon function in theme-functions.php.

   I tried this but it doesn't seem to work. What am I doing wrong? I uploaded a cufon font and saved the settings - then the blog and post titles were changed, alright. Then I entered custom:blockquote into the cufon font's description and everything went back to normal. The blog and post titles went back to using their default cufon font (which is what I want) but the blockquotes are still using Times New Roman and don't seem to be affected by cufon whatsoever.

   tested with custom:blockquote and it works for me. Check with Firebug that the blockquote is using the tag and is not styled by a class instead.

   How can I check that?
   I installed firebug, marked the quote and chose right click->inspect element.
   Then I got to see the html code which places the quote in
   

   tags.
   On the right I see some css stuff about "blockquote p {
   display:inline;" and something about style.css line 220.

   Don't really know my way around there, though I don't know what should cause my blockquotes to be styled by a class instead. Any help please...?

   it's the left column in Firebug that shows the html. hover over it to see if it's the one. A link would help.

   As I said (but was hidden by this board due to forum posts apparently being html sensitive^^), the html-window shows the quote in blockquote-tags.

   it's using the blockquote tag, so adding custom:blockquote into the description should work.

   you can test with this: default,custom:blockquote

   then the font should override the one in the default font in the dropdown list, just to test that the font is working. You can also test with "custom:blockquote p".

   I don't get this... now my uploaded cufon fonts won't even affect the blog and post titles anymore!?
   No matter if I enter "default" or nothing into its description, the title fonts stay normal fonts, without cufon. Only when I delete all cufon fonts from the gallery the theme-default cufon font kicks back in.
   Could it be some sort of bug with the cufon script or something? Any idea how to fix this? And why did it work at first - at least on the titles?

    Okay, if this doesn't work, what do I have to add or change in the theme-functions.php to have the blockquotes use the same cufon font as the blog title and post title?

    this is not a live chat...

    if it did not work with default, then the uploaded font doesn't work, and that is good news, because then it got nothing to do with the targeting to do. Test with different fonts (you can upload fonts from the library/js/cufon folder).

    Well, that's the funny thing. I did try it with fonts from library/js/cufon every time since I want to use Aurulent Sans.

    If you email me wp admin login (create a new temporary admin user), then I can test it.

    it worked as it should. I guess you forgot to rename the title tag. It should be the font name. This is said in the video and it's also in the documentation.

    I'm afraid you guessed right. I changed the font title wrong, naming it Aurulent instead of Aurulent Sans. Thank you very much, I much appreciate your help!
