    %p font-family=Arial% This paragraph is in Arial.

    %p font-family='"Times New Roman"'% This paragraph is in Times New Roman.

If you plan to do a lot of font changes in paragraphs, you can do:

    %define=times font-family='"Times New Roman"'%
    %define=arial font-family=Arial%

and then later

    %p arial% This paragraph is in Arial.

    %p times% This paragraph is in Times New Roman.

    %p times% This paragraph is Times New Roman 
    with some %arial% Arial text %% in the middle.

You can also define the times/arial wikistyles using CSS:

    .times { font-family:"Times New Roman"; }
    .arial { font-family:Arial; }

Lastly, note that some platforms (e.g., Linux) often don't
have fonts named "Times New Roman" and "Arial", so you might want
to add "serif" and "sans-serif" to the options:

    .times { font-family:"Times New Roman", serif; }
    .arial { font-family:Arial, sans-serif; }
