Gentlemen,

Have been trying to get this working for about an hour and I have had enough. For such a well configured system, getting Silverstripe to show the same colours and fonts (ie: CSS) in the CMS as it does in the theme on site is frustrating in the extreme!!

Following instructions I found online, I edited typography.css in the theme's css folder and added the following...

.typography h1, .typography h2 {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Geneva;
font-size: 12pt;
color: #ffcc00;
font-weight: bold;
}

Viewing the source code this css is loaded, and these classes show when viewing that css file. However, the font display in the CSS remains stubbornly the same.

Please help!!

Are you sure they aren't being overridden somewhere else (use the developer tools with your browser to check. Make sure you actually have a typography class on your front end template and that you have an editor.css in your theme which includes typography.css.
