Font Family

Most browsers include one or more inbuilt fonts ("Font Families") to allow alternative appearances of text.  Typically, there will be:

• A "Serif" font, such as "Times New Roman", or "Times".
• A "Sans-serif" font, such as "Helvetica", or "Arial".
• A "Mono-spaced" font, such as "Courier".

Many browsers provide a wider range of fonts, or allow access to fonts stored elsewhere on the viewer's system.
