Hey.

First --> Great script !

But I have a problem. The first line, so the title of the news, is written in the exact font that is specified in ticker.js. But the description is not using the good font !!!
In place of that it is using the standard font ...

Here-under the code of Ticker.js

// === 1 === FONT, COLORS, EXTRAS...
v_font='Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif';
v_fontSize='xx-small';
v_fontSizeNS4='x-small';
v_fontWeight='normal';
v_fontColor='black';
v_textDecoration='none';
v_textDecorationHover='underline';// | in Netscape4
v_bgColor='transparent';
// set [='transparent'] for transparent
// set [='url(image_source)'] for image
v_top=1;// |
v_left=0;// | defining
v_width=350;// | the box
v_height=70;// |
v_paddingTop=0;
v_paddingLeft=0;
v_position='relative';// absolute/relative
v_timeout=4000;//1000 = 1 second
v_slideSpeed=10;
v_slideDirection=0;//0=down-up;1=up-down
v_pauseOnMouseOver=true;
// v2.2+ new below
v_slideStep=1;//pixels
v_textAlign='left';// left/center/right
v_textVAlign='top';// top/middle/bottom - won't work in Netscape4

// === 2 === THE CONTENT - ['href','text','target']
// Use '' for href to have no link item
// Use '' for target to have no destination
// since the promotions need to be dynamic they will be included in the <head> of the including page

// ===

Can someone help ?

This is because you have put the description text in a table and the font styles are not inherited by tables on non-standard-compliant pages. To fix the issue, you can add the following rule in your css file (http://www.flexipoint.be/css/prior.css):

Code:
a.vnewsticker td {
   font-size:x-small;
   font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
}

It's not that site.

The site where it does not work is --> http://www.ikkeengij.be/newsite

OK, then you use the following CSS rule:

Code:
a.vnewsticker td {
   font-weight:bold;
}
