CSS 1 property: font-family

The font-family property specifies a prioritized list of font family names and/or generic family names, similar to voice-family. To deal with the problem that a single font may not contain glyphs to display all the characters in a document, or that not all fonts are available on all systems, this property allows authors to specify a list of fonts, all of the same style and size, that are tried in sequence to see if they contain a glyph for a certain character. This list is called a font set.
