 Web Typography | an introduction to font families, font choices and HTML punctuation || HTMLSource ]
Fonts are more commonly made proportional, where the width of each character and the space between them is set more appropriately — the letter i taking up much less space than an m, for example.
Fonts from either of these families will often be overly-decorative for text that needs to be read easily.
Remember to always supply a list of font alternatives when you define the font of some text, because not everybody has the same set of fonts on their system, and finish on a generic font family.

A font family is a group of related fonts which vary only in weight, orientation, width, etc. For examples, Times is a font family, whereas Times Roman, Times Italic and Times Bold are each fonts.

A font family is made up of a number of variants of a certain typeface.

 CSS: fonts
Since not all fonts are available on all computers (there are thousands of fonts, and most are not free), CSS provides a system of fallbacks.
You list the font that you want first, then any fonts that might fill in for the first if it is unavailable, and you should end the list with a generic font, of which there are five: serif, sans-serif, monospace, cursive and fantasy.
Most fonts have various styles within the same family, typically a bold and an italic one, often also a bold italic style, somewhat less often a small-caps and in a few cases extra-light/extra-bold or stretched/condensed versions.

The fonts below need not be used - the browser may map font names to whatever font it chooses.
This should be in the browser cursive font.
Since many browsers do not do anything special to fantasy or cursive, it is important to test that they consider there to be two conceptual @font-face rules for these fonts - cursive, monospace for example, should be treated as cursive because matching on the five generic font families always succeeds.

 Re: font families and 7.01 -- Woody Sherman -- 2004/08/06
Hey Jim -- You might go to the fonts folder and remove all fonts from that family except the one or two that you need to use -- it seems that having a big family of fonts will result in some of the family "overwriting" other weights, and only one or two will show up.
I believe this is a limitation in how Windows works with font info.
