style_system | Changing the font family of usernames (Reply)

I'm trying to find a way to change the font family of the poster usernames in entries and comments. I've managed to switch the style to lowercase, but the font family refuses to change.

Relevant bits of code (I think) are these:

.poster a {
font-family: "Crete Round", Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 13px;
text-transform: lowercase;
}

and

.comment-poster a {
font-family: "Crete Round", Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 13px;
text-transform: lowercase;
}

The full code for my layout is:

/* background images */

#secondary /*sidebar image */ {
background-image:url(http://i.minus.com/ibaAdGcgfjaqAM.jpg); 
}

body /* background image */ {
