Special 'font'-tag?

Alderman 1210187896|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

My problem: I would like to occasionally use characters from a different font in the main body of my text. I am writing about several languages on my wiki, and I sometimes need to write a word or two using a non-standard font. However, including the font name in my CSS doesn't help: if I place it first in the list, then all the text appears in that font; if I place it second in the list, it never appears.

My question: Is there some kind of tag I can use to designate which font I want to appear? HTML uses a 'face'-parameter for the 'font'-tag, but I can't find anything comparable for the wikidot code. Am I overlooking something? (Or is there some other way I can accomplish what I'm trying to do?)

Thanks in advance…

Hey, Shawn. Thanks a lot for that. After some toying around to find a font that the code would accept, it looks like its going to work out fine. However, apparently the table code (||) renders the span tag useless. :S

You can use [[table]]] [[row]] and [[cell]].

[[table]]
[[row]]
[[cell]]
This is [[span style="font-family:monospace"]]monospace[[/span]]
[[/cell]]
[[/row]]
[[/table]]

This is monospace
