Description of property definition and use
Font - Family properties specify the font of an element.
Font-family can save multiple font names as a "fallback" system. If the browser does not support the first font, the next one is tried.
There are two types of font family names:
- family-name - The name of the specified family: the name of the specific font, such as "times," "courier," "arial."
- generic-family - usually font family names: "serif," "sans-serif," "cursive," "fantasy," "monospace."
The use of a particular font family (Geneva) depends entirely on the availability of the font family on the user's machine; Therefore, it is highly recommended to use a generic font family name as a back path.
Note: Each value is separated by a comma.
Note: If the font name contains spaces, it must be quoted. Single quotes must be used when using the "style" property in HTML.
