I'd like to have a web site with "Times new" font.

I set this font in the .css file in this way:

____________

body {

  font-family: "Times Roman";

  font-size: 14px;

  line-height: 1.42857143;

  color: #333;

  background-color: #fff;

}

____________

and this work properly  on the web also ipad but not in the smatphone that show the font like "Arial".

I'm missing something?

Is there a way to set also in the smartphone the same font that I have on the web?

How?

Thanks.

    Thanks for your reply.

    Font Times it is ok on OS Mac and  chrome and safari also ipad  (times ok)

    Smartphone with android  (only Arial)


    Android's have their own system fonts --  Roboto and Droid.   If you want to change fonts, you'll have to do it through your phone settings.

    Use a full font-stack to support the widest number of devices. 

    /* Times New Roman-based stack */
    font-family: Cambria, "Hoefler Text", Utopia, "Liberation Serif", "Nimbus Roman No9 L Regular", Times, "Times Roman", "Times New Roman", "Droid Serif", serif;
