Using non-standard fonts on a web site is not trivial. See [How to add some non standard font to website?](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/107936/how-to-add-some-non-standard-font-to-website) — Pekka, Jul 23 '10 at 12:23

p {
font-family:"Times New Roman",Georgia,Serif;
}

This works fine, so do you maybe just have to add the " to Monotype Corsiva, or have to start writing serif with a big S?

Update: As you can read from the comment above: Using non-standard fonts on a web site is not trivial.

Font's with spaces in them need to be quoted.

font-family: "Times New Roman", Arial, "Trebuchet MS";

So :

.lg {
   font-family: "Monotype Corsiva", Times, serif;
}

Should work fine.
