CSS Font Properties

The CSS font properties allow you to change the font family, boldness, size, and the style of a text.

Note: In CSS1 fonts are identified by a font name. If a browser does not support the specified font, it will use a default font.

Browser support: IE: Internet Explorer, F: Firefox, N: Netscape.

W3C: The number in the "W3C" column indicates in which CSS recommendation the property is defined (CSS1 or CSS2).
