font face styles : 1 Page Design free webmaster tools

font face styles always use common fonts such as these if the person viewing your page doesn't have the font you used installed in their computer their browser will not display your page correctly.
Their browser will display it's default font and your page will not display the way you intended which in Windows is usually times new roman.
When entering font family values in a style sheet it is best to list several fonts separated by commas to ensure the viewer will have at least one of the ones you listed.
If you list 3 common fonts the browser will go down the list until it finds an installed font and then use that one.
I suppose you could list your non-standard value thinking some people will get to enjoy it, then list the others as common types for everyone else.
Though we don't do that ourselves or really recommend it in practice. See the code example below.
Please feel free to use our online free webmaster tools to help create and build your website.
common font face styles
<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">
See how each font is listed being separated by commas? Arial is for Windows it is the main type, helvetica is in case a MAC user views your page MAC doesn't have arial and sans-serif displays whatever their browser's default sans-serif font happens to be.
It is a last resort effort to have some sense of compatibility with your page. Writing code this gives way you a greater chance that the viewer's browser will render your pages correctly.
