Description:
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, using generic family names as a fallback is strongly encouraged. Font names that contain spaces or nonalphabetic characters should be quoted to minimize potential confusion.
Examples:
p {font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;}
li {font-family: Times, TimesNR, "New Century Schoolbook",
serif;}
pre {font-family: Courier, "Courier New", "Andale Mono",
Monaco, monospace;}Supported by:
