The <font> is deprecated. Use stylesheets (CSS) or use the 'style' attribute. : $cgi->checkbox(-name=>'checkboxname',-value=>'turned : on',-label=>"I want : Arial here"); Option 1: Wrap a span with an embedded style around the checkbox. $cgi->span( { style => 'font-family: Arial' }, $cgi->checkbox( -name => 'checkboxname', -value => 'turned on', -label => 'I want Arial here', ), ); Option 2: Wrap a span around the checkbox with a class name. $cgi->span( { class => 'checkbox' }, $cgi->checkbox( -name => 'checkboxname', -value => 'turned on', -label => 'I want Arial here', ), ); And in the stylesheet (html languages only): span.checkbox { font-family: Arial; display: inline; } In the stylesheet (applies to all document languages): span[class=checkbox] { font-family: Arial; display: inline; } Check out http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/ for more info on CSS. Note that font-family should really include more than one font if you want good control. Fortunately, there is a whole chapter on fonts at the above link. HTH, Charles K.
