    Can I override the reference to the style sheet or individual style? I assume so, or hope at least. Our platform is weird like this.

    Those are from the website itself. Shouldn't affect the email... I would hope.

    I should have used the syntax... Sorry about this. Perhaps this is better (scope preview)

    Again, it's ugly... but what can you do? Really want those serif fonts to come through on iPhone/Pad.

    We always need 2 way with a crazy amount of custom data fields. This helps us with some major segmentation and querying. We also run events and a directory from this service. Le sigh.

    Sure! Just don't judge the design. It's probably the ugliest thing ever... it was an email that had to match a print piece exactly (totally backward and silly). Here's the code, minus the media queries and other misc css.

    Thanks Jason. The comma thing was a mistake when I was typing it out. The original contained the semi-colon. I tried copying your code exactly and got the same result. iOS reverted the serif fonts back to Arial.

    Is it an issue with quotes around the font names? I can't seem to figure this out... and it seems like it would be super simple. I even tried using span tags instead.

    Replied to Discussion: iOS serif fonts by Matthew Lindsay 2014-02-14 22:32:50

    Just basic inline... whether it's in a span, table, and/or table data tag. Example:

    <td style="font-size: 18px; color:#444444; font-family: Georgia, Palatino, serif, class="w640" width="625" align="center">
