Outlook displays Times New Roman for some, but not others?

SOLVE

Hi!


I will firstly say I'm not a coding genius but know enough to get by...

I'm having trouble getting Outlook to display my fallback font in my email. I would like to use our brand font Montserrat and I have  followed the Litmus guide to web fonts here, and I have a fallback font stack. I've made my template in the layout editor and checked it in the client tester which all looked fine. 

This is how I added the font in the head section

 

 

 @font-face {
    font-family: 'Montserrat';
    font-style: normal;
    font-weight: 400;
    src: local('Montserrat-Regular'), url(https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/montserrat/v7/zhcz-_WihjSQC0oHJ9TCYL3hpw3pgy2gAi-Ip7WPMi0.woff) format('woff');
    mso-font-alt: 'Verdana';
    }  

 

 

And input this in the inline styling box where any text is used.

 

font-family: 'Montserrat', Verdana, sans-serif;

 


In the Hubspot email client previews it appears as I would expect showing a sans-serif fallback however in reality for several colleagues it shows Times New Roman still? So I feel like I can't trust the Hubspot client testing area completely? We are using Outlook 2013.

Any pointers would be appreciated 🙂

Kind regards,

Holly
