You don't specify Lucida Console in the CSS above. Instead you repeatedly specify various font properties for P, so were they conflict only the last one will be used. See also http://htmlhelp.com/reference/css/structure.html

BTW you shouldn't use the pt unit for screen media, it's meant for print. Percentages work best for screen font sizes.

Since you only specify fonts for P elements it will not affect UL elements.

You must either specify the font for the UL or for BODY. If you use it on BODY the font style will be inherited by both P and UL.

i've create a table, how can i mange to keep the overall font as Lucida Console, but keeping my table font at Times new Roman?

You can specify the BODY font as Lucida, and the table's TD font as Times.

This should work:

CODE

body {
font-family: "lucida console", sans-serif;
}

td {
font-family: "times new roman", serif;
}

To get the same style in two kinds of elements (like P and UL) you can do

CODE

p, ul {
font: ....;
}

You can read more about this in the link to the CSS reference.
