What is font family property?

Question

Any one explain about the font family property.

Answer 1

We use font property in css to standardised the look of the pages but sometimes the fonts we used might not exist in some computers or devices of users; in that case we ask browser to use a font from same family. Here is some detailed explanation below :

The font-family property can hold several font names as a "fallback" system. If the browser does not support the first font, it tries the next font.

There are two types of font family names:

family-name - The name of a font-family, like "times", "courier", "arial", etc.
generic-family - The name of a generic-family, like "serif", "sans-serif", "cursive", "fantasy", "monospace".

Start with the font you want, and always end with a generic family, to let the browser pick a similar font in the generic family, if no other fonts are available.

Note: Separate each value with a comma.

Note: If a font name contains white-space, it must be quoted. Single quotes must be used when using the "style" attribute in HTML.
