Click folder view.
Right click on your .css file and click Edit ( or Select )
and it will open in notepad.

You have to assign the font to the elements in the page like this:

p, td, th, div {
font: smallblue;
font-size: 8pt;
color: Navy;
}

Make sure the font name is correct as far as upper case and lower case.
Example: if it is SmallBlue using smallblue might not work.
Also if the font is two or more words enclose it in quotes
like this "Comic Sans MS"
And also, you need to use a font that is common to all computers,
as fonts are not embedded in a web page.
