Re: css - font issue

You can't doing it using this code.
The css style you provided is useful when you want to define some general attributes for multiple tags.

In order to achieve yours, you have to explicitly specify the font family for each h# element.
you should do it like this
h1 {font-family: Tahoma;} - you can omit this definition, as it has been already defined in your general definitions.
h2 {font-family: Arial;}
h3 {font-family: sans-serif;}
