Description Examples Tips

Description:

A font is a design for a set of characters.  To specify a font you include it's name in the tag. 

You can include more than one font by separating font names with commas. When you do this, the browser starts with the first font and uses it if it is installed on the user's machine. If not, it tries the second one and so on until it finds a match. This allows you to handle the instance of the perfect font is not installed ... you can specify a series of fonts to try instead of allowing the browser to choose one for you.

Examples:

<FONT FACE="Times New Roman">This is in Times New Roman</FONT><BR>
<FONT FACE="Comic Sans MS">This font is Comic Sans MS</FONT>

This is in Times New Roman
This font is Comic Sans MS

As you can see, this example sets the font to the specified value.

Tips:

  1. Use a list of fonts separated by commas to handle the problem of the specified fonts not being installed.
