[OS X TeX] Table in SF family with longtable package

[BenBehr]

Hi,
I don't know if it works, and i don't have the time to try it myself  
at the moment, but if you write ">{\sffamily}c" in the column  
declaration of a normal table it has the same effect as to write it in  
each cell of that column. Just try if it works in your case. Let me  
know what it dose.
