CSS Font Family List

CSS Font Family List

Browsers do not support all the fonts, so you need to use multiple fonts to be on safer side. 

CSS font-family defines the priority for the browser to choose the font from multiple fonts.

There are 2 types of font families which you can use –

  • Specific Font-Family – This is a specific type of font like Arial, Verdana, Tahoma
  • Generic Font-Family – This is a General Font and almost all browsers support this generic font family. Example: serif, Sans-serif etc

Example of usage of font-family:

font-family: Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Serif;

In this case, the main font is Verdana and if this is not available, your browser will use the fallback value. So, the first fallback is Arial. If this font is also not supported by your browser, it will use the Tahoma font and if this font is also not supported, then the browser of the user will set the Serif font.
