Excel footer will not use chosen font

I have read multiple posts on this but none of them seem to address this issue.  I have set my footer font to print in Courier to match the rest of my document.  In the print preview it looks correct but it keeps printing as the default, Arial, I believe.  Someone please help me with this.  I have unchecked the box that keeps the footer from scaling with the document, as I read that can affect the chosen settings but it did not help.
