Why should we have to write (times,serif;) after (times new roman) font code? plz explain.

Question

p.serif {
font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
}

Answer 1

When you use a font that isn't directly loaded from your site (or fails to load) you will be using fonts that are available within the end users operating system. If "Times New Roman" is not available on the end users machine, then it will try falling back to the next font in the list, "Times", which if also not available will fall back to serif, and so on.
