Erik,
1. Did you just try setting a cookie, plain, with no conditions.
2. Have you tested your conditions, or added a test, equivalent to what you
do when you set the cookie? In other words, change setcookie to this ....
if ($type_sel)
{
setcookie("font[type]", $type_sel, time()+3600) ;
echo "type_sel: $type_sel;
}
3. Are you getting any errors when you try to set the cookie?
