Hey Guys, I’m working on a page for a friend, and one of the fonts I’ve used doesn’t work on all computers. I remember reading a code once that lets you put in an alternate font face for users who don’t have that font, but I don’t remember what it was, or where I read it, if anyone could help, I’d be much obliged.
-Thanks

When assigning a font-family via CSS, you can provide a list of fonts with the most preferred being first in the list, and you should always provide one of the above generic fonts at the end of the list.
Style sheet:
<i>
</i>body {
font: medium arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
}
h1 {
font-family: courier, monospace;
}
You can assign it in-line using the style attribute:
[code=html]
<p>This is a test. <span style="font-family: 'comic sans-serif', fantasy">It is
only a test.</span></p>
