Cant set the font type in a popup text box

Apologies from a first time poster and a bit of a noob.
I have inherited some html pages that utilise some javascripting as far as I understand it.
The pages basically ask the user to enter some text and then click a ‘check’ link which displays the sample answer to the user in a popup window.

The main html page uses verdana as the font and this looks nice enough. The popup windows seem to default to what looks like courier and it looks a bit untidy to appear in a totally different font in my opinion.

We would really like to be able to set the font in the popup windows to also use verdana.

Hopefully I have included a sample of an html page below that shows the problem.
I am really hoping that someone may be able to provide some guidance and a possible solution.

[CODE]
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN”>
<html>
<head>

<meta http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”text/html; charset=iso-8859-1″>

<script language=”JavaScript” type=”text/JavaScript”>

function MM_openBrWindow(theURL,winName,features) { //v2.0

window.open(theURL,winName,features);

}
function checklist(num) { //v1.0

var answer = window.document.forms[0].elements[num-1].value.length;

if ((window.document.forms[0].elements[num-1].type == “radio”) || (answer> 8)){

switch(num){
case ‘1’:

openwindow(“response one – the text displays in what looks like courier”);

break;

case ‘2’:

openwindow(“response two – the text displays in what looks like courier”);

break;

default:

}

}else{alert(‘Please enter your answer!’);}

}

function openwindow(msg){

var closemsg =”<p class=”RVPS3″><a href=”#” onclick=”javascript:window.close()”> Close window</a></p>”;

newwindow = window.open(”,’Feedback’,’scrollbars,width=500, height=260′);

newdoc=newwindow.document;

newdoc.write(msg+closemsg);

newdoc.close();

}
