<div style="font-family:arial;">YOUR_TEXT_HERE</div>
(The span tag is best used for isolated words or phrases within a paragraph.)

Every time I set my post to arial font then save wordpress keep messing up and insisiting on putting a thousand <span> </span>s in after every little pause. Even when I remove them in html mode as soon as I click back into normal view it puts all the spans back and my post is in two(sometimes more) different fonts and often different sizes as well. I am NOT copying from word. The only thing I am copying is <font face=arial> from other posts.
This problem is rendering writing posts absolutely impossible and infuriating.
