CSS: The font-family property
The
font-family property specifies the font family of the text, which changes how the letters look.A specific font name can be specified, like
font-family: "Arial", but that will only work if viewers also have "Arial" on their computer. It's better to specify a generic family name (serif, sans-serif, monospace, cursive), because then browsers will look for that sort of font on the viewer's computer.The best option is to give a comma separated list of font families, as then the browser will prefer the first but use the others as backup options.
