The CSS font-family property is used to define a font family for an element. It will also affect any child elements of the specified element.

TIP: Setting multiple fonts in a comma separated list is done to set fallback fonts just in case the user does not have the primary font you specify installed on their computer.

Possible Values:

Arial •• Verdana •• Helvetica •• Gadget •• Fantasy •• Impact •• Courier •• Times
Tahoma •• Geneva •• Georgia •• monospace •• sans-serif •• serif
"Arial Black" •• "Comic Sans MS" •• "Times New Roman" •• "Courier New" •• "Trebuchet MS"
