A propriedade CSS “font-family”

setembro 26 0 Comentários Categoria: CSS

Definition and Usage

The font-family property specifies the font for an element.

The font-family property can hold several font names as a “fallback” system. If the browser does not support the first font, it tries the next font.

There are two types of font family names:

  • family-name – The name of a font-family, like “times”, “courier”, “arial”, etc.
  • generic-family – The name of a generic-family, like “serif”, “sans-serif”, “cursive”, “fantasy”, “monospace”.

Start with the font you want, and always end with a generic family, to let the browser pick a similar font in the generic family, if no other fonts are available.

Note: Separate each value with a comma.

Note: If a font name contains white-space, it must be quoted. Single quotes must be used when using the “style” attribute in HTML.

Default value: not specified
Inherited: yes
Version: CSS1
JavaScript syntax: object.style.fontFamily=”arial,sans-serif”

 

Browser Support

Internet Explorer Firefox Opera Google Chrome Safari

The font-family property is supported in all major browsers.

Note: The value “inherit” is not supported in IE7 and earlier. IE8 requires a !DOCTYPE. IE9 supports “inherit”.
