As usual, a URL would have been most useful. It would have let us access the
page as it is, as opposite to e.g. GB2312 encoded copy of a snippet thereof.
(My e-mail program shows straight Ascii quotation marks " as curly when
GB2312 encoding is used, causing the natural but wrong reaction "oh, but
curly quotes don't work in CSS.)

The seconf occurrence of the keyword inherit is misspelled. It is impossible
to know whether this was an error in copying from the actual page to your
e-mail message... but it does not really affect the issue of font-family.

I guess you mean that the font-family value is not inherited.
The next question is then: On which browser(s)?
IE is notorious for lack of support for several CSS features, including
explicit inheritance, i.e. the use of the keyword inherit as a property
value. So there is no general way to make an element take it parent
element's value for some property. The workaround is to set the value
explicitly, e.g.
span, textarea { font-family: 'Centaur'; }
This does not guarantee that the same value is used for both elements, since
some other CSS rule might set font-family for span or textarea. But we can
normally expect that a page ("author") style sheet setting wins any setting
in a browser or user style sheet
