When encountering an issue where the font styling is reverting to Arial on a specific page in Webflow while it remains unchanged on the homepage, there are a few potential causes to investigate. Here are some possible reasons and solutions:

  1. Font settings: Check the font settings for the specific page that is experiencing the issue. It's possible that the font styles have been unintentionally overridden or reset in the page settings. To resolve this, navigate to the page settings in the Webflow Designer and make sure that the font styles are correctly set.

  2. Class conflicts: Another possible cause could be a class conflict between elements on the specific page. If there are conflicting class styles affecting the font, it can cause the font to revert to a different style such as Arial. To address this, inspect the affected elements on the page and check if there are multiple class styles being applied. If so, you may need to adjust or remove conflicting class styles to retain the desired font styling.

  3. CSS specificity: CSS specificity can also impact font styling. The font styling on the specific page might be overridden by another CSS rule due to higher specificity. This could happen if a specific CSS rule is targeting elements on that page and conflicting with the desired font styles. Use the browser's developer tools to inspect the affected element and check if any conflicting CSS rules are being applied. Adjust the specificity of your desired font styling or update the conflicting CSS rule to resolve the issue.

  4. Global font settings: Ensure that the global font settings in your Webflow project are properly configured. If the specific page is not inheriting the correct font styling from the global settings, it may lead to the font reverting to Arial. Double-check the global font settings in the project settings to make sure the desired font is selected and applied.

Remember to publish your changes after making any adjustments to ensure they take effect on the live site.

By investigating these potential causes, you should be able to identify and resolve the issue of font styling reverting to Arial on a new page in Webflow.
