This appendix contains a quick reference for the commonly available fonts and a brief discussion of downloadable fonts.
Specifying Fonts
Under HTML 4.01 and transitional XHTML 1.0, you can use the <font> tag to set a font in a page by setting the face attribute:
<font face="Britannic Bold">This is important</font>
The Web browser reads this HTML fragment and renders the text in the font named in the face attribute-but only for users who have the font installed on their systems. Multiple fonts can be listed using the face attribute:
<font face="Arial, Helvetica, Sans-serif">
This should be in a different font</font>
Here, the browser reads the comma-delimited list of fonts until it finds a font it supports. Given the fragment shown here, the browser would first try Arial, then Helvetica, and finally a sans-serif font before giving up and using the current browser font.CSS supports the same approach to setting fonts using font-family and font properties. For example, to set the font to Arial for all text in paragraph tags, you would use a rule like the following:
p {font-family: Arial;}Of course, the same restriction of fonts available on the local system applies, so a comma-delimited list of fonts should be specified like so:
p {font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, Sans-serif;}Regardless of the approach, you can apply a little guesswork to use fonts properly if you consider that most Macintosh, Windows, and UNIX users have a standard set of fonts. If equivalent fonts are specified, it may be possible to provide similar page renderings across platforms.

Most users may have many other fonts in addition to the ones shown in the tables. Users of Microsoft's Office will probably also have access to fonts such as Algerian, Book Antiqua, Bookman Old Style, Britannic Bold, Desdemona, Garamond, Century Gothic, Haettenschweiller, and many others. The various browsers are also trying to make new fonts available. Microsoft's Webdings font provides many common icons for use on Web pages viewed in Internet Explore 4.0 or higher. Some of these icons may be useful for navigation, like arrows, while others look like audio or video symbols that could provide an indication of link content.
