font-family

Synopsis

This defines a font family to be used in the display of an element’s text. Note that use of a specific font family (e.g., Geneva) is wholly dependent on that family being available on a user’s machine; no font downloading is implied by this property. Therefore, the use of generic family names as a last fallback is strongly encouraged.
