set the default font with css?

How do I set a default font using CSS?

Greetings,

Exactly what do you mean by default?

As a font you have on your machine may not be on someone elses.

But you set a font with:

Code: Select all

font-family: Arial;

or

Code: Select all

font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial;

which will use Tahoma if it's present, if not it'll use Verdana if that font is present and failing that it'll use Arial.

I think ...

This what I have now:

Code: Select all

.toplinks {
font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size:16px;
font-weight:bold;
}

As you can see that style has a name. But to use that font, I have to put:

Code: Select all

<span class="toplinks"></span>
or
add class="toplinks" to my tables

just to use that style.

But I want to know how to set a font that will appear without having to put those tags in.

Simply

Code: Select all

html,body { 
font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size:16px;
font-weight:bold;
}
