Hi Jenn

As far as I know, Greenstone doesn't specify the font - it just uses
whatever default font is set in the browser.
You could try adding
style="font-family: arial;" to the body tag: this is defined in
gsdl/macros/style.dm, defined in GSDL Error macro.

I don't think that Greenstone keeps any formatting info that is in the
<head> part of the html page. If your editor is setting style
information there, then it will probably be lost.
Do your html pages look fine in a browser as well as in your editor?

If you like, you can send me one of your documents (and you collection
config file) and I can have a look at it here.

Regards,
Katherine Don
