The CSS reference
"font-family" - css property (v. css 1)
- To specify the font family for a text.
- Unlike most other CSS properties, values are separated by a comma to indicate that they are alternatives.
- Initial value: depends on user agent
- The property is inherited
- HTML usage: all elements
-
Browsers that support the font-family - property :
body { font-family: Gill, Helvetica, sans-serif }Possible font-family values:
| value | Comments | CSS |
|---|---|---|
| family-name | The name of a font family of choice. In the example above, "Gill" and "Helvetica" are font families. | 1 |
| generic-family | In the example above, the last value is a
generic family name. The following generic families are defined:
|

| inherit | Will inherit the value from parent specification. This property value is new with CSS 2. | 2 |
Javascript access:
// To SET values ([o] is the target object)
[o].style.fontFamily="font-family values"
// To GET values you must first get the computed style object
// To get that object in IE or Opera:
var cStyle=[o].currentStyle;
// To get that object in Firefox, Chrome or Safari (w3c-type):
var cStyle=window.getComputedStyle([o],null)
// To GET the property value:
var value=cStyle.fontFamily;
// Returns a comma seperated list of font families
// Opera will return only the first in the list of font families.
