FONT PROPERTIES
CSS font property is used to define the font, size and the style of the text. Some of the commonly
used font properties are font-family, font-style, font-size, etc.
FONT FAMILY
The FONT-FAMILY property is used to change the face of the font. The font family property works
on the principle of "fallback" system i.e. if the web browser is not compatible with the first font,
it tries the next font, and so on. If the name of a font family is more than one word, it must be
in quotation marks, like: "Times New Roman". More than one font family can be specified in a
comma-separated list.
Syntax: FONT-FAMILY:Font1, Font2;
Let us create a web page to set font family.
