The names of font families that contain spaces must be enclosed in quotation marks. For example, Times new Roman, Arial, and others. According to the CSS2 specification, there are two types of font family names: This property specifies a priority list of font family names and/or generic family names. To ensure that a page can be displayed as conceived by the designer, in any operating system, it is possible in the CSS font-family property to set several fonts, listed in commas. According to the same statistics, more than 60% of Unix/Linux users have on their computer fonts set Core fonts for the Web, which until 2002 was officially available for free download on the Microsoft site. According to statistics many Unix/Linux users also have URW, Free and other font sets installed. Many Linux users use the DejaVu font set, in particular on Ubuntu it is installed by default. Since there are different operating systems, they have different sets of fonts.Īs far as Unix/Linux operating systems are concerned, they do not have a single set of fonts. Standard fonts are a set of fonts installed with the operating system. And if you got a green designer, a good layout designer simply must correct his mistake – in the layout by replacing this font as similar to the standard one.īut how to distinguish fonts of the first group from the second? Clearly, the set of fonts installed directly on your computer can not be relied upon! Let’s look into it. Therefore, to do, for example, the total text of the page in non-standard fonts can not! Literate designer will never do so. We can say that the danger of applying the method directly depends on the likelihood of changing the text. If you change the text will have to redo the picture and change the CSS (for example, if the size of the new picture does not match the old one).

The disadvantage of using this technique – inflexibility. If the designer used the fonts of the second category to create, for example, a logo or large static headings, you can not hesitate to use the technique of replacing the text with a picture.

Fonts that will display with no problem for the vast majority of users.That is, fonts can be divided into two categories: A good designer, as well as a good layout designer knows that the browser can use to display the page only those fonts that are installed on the user’s computer.
