Stops font-family being inherited from body tag

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Set font-family on the body tag in the expectation that this will be
inherited by headings, paragraphs etc.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

That heading, paragraphs etc. should inherit that font. It works fine in
other browsers. And if this script is not used. The correct font does come
up momentarily and then it switched to something else that looks like Times
Roman.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Occurs with IE8.js and IE9.js using IE7 in the Internet Explorer Collection
suite. I use Windows XP.

Please provide any additional information below.

I can't recreate this bug so you will have to provide a test page. I'm going to 
mark 
this as invalid until a test page is provided.

Hello dean. I'm away until after the weekend. Will investigate 
further and provide a test page when I return.

Thanks

Hi, I am having this same bug... 

If you go to: http://www.filipstoj.com/clients/idbbank/index.php you'll see I'm 
using
the 2.0 version. If you switch to 2.1 the fonts in the top nav and nav become
non-inherited... See: http://www.filipstoj.com/clients/idbbank/index_2.1.php

I have a secondary issue with 2.0 however, in that on IE6 and 7, it shifts down 
some
of the spacing in the page... as you can see if you load the original link in 
IE6.

@filipfilip, if you simplify that page so it just demonstrates the bug then I 
will look 
into it.

I had the same problem and fixed it using the following rule in my ie.css :

* {font-family:Arial, Sans-Serif;}

Thank god i need only one font ;)

Using the * { font-family } trick works for me too. Was also experiencing the 
issue in IE7 using 2.1 - well, IE9 using IE7 browser mode and IE7 document 
mode, didn't test it in native IE7.
