The CSS (CSS1) font-family property indicates the

commas (typically starting from more specific fonts and ending with more
generic fonts). If the browser doesn’t support the first font in the list, it
tries the next one etc. Font family names can be:
-
Specific, e.g. "Times New
Roman", Arial; or

Generic, e.g. serif, cursive
