This might be a stupid question, but I am using bourbon, neat and bitters and for some reason if I try and add a font-family to a div, it is not changing the font unless I be more specific.
@scott in bitters there is a declaration for the headers font-family. This is why you need to override that. My suggestion is to change the variable $header-font-family in bitters variables.scss file to the font family you want instead of overriding it here.
