Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Font-family:

  • The “font-family” property is used to specify the font for an element.
  • It can hold several font names separated with a comma.
  • If the browser cannot support the first font then it will automatically shift to the next one.

Syntax:

font-family: family-name|generic-family|initial|inherit;

Explanation:

On the Right Hand Side, the first term “family-name” describes the list of font family names and the second term “generic-family” describes the list of generic family names. The next term “initial” is used to set the CSS property to a default value. The last term “inherit” is used to inherit the elements from their parent elements.

Example Program:

<html>

<head>

<style>

p.a

{

   font-family: Arial, Times, serif;

}

p.b

{

   font-family: "Times New Roman", Helvetica, sans-serif;

}

</style>

</head>

<body>

<h1 style="color:green">The font-family Property</h1>

<p class="a">This is a paragraph, shown in the Arial font.</p>

<p class="b">This is a paragraph, shown in the Times New Roman font.</p>

</body>

</html>

Web Development and Design Foundations with HTML5 (9th Edition) (What's New in Computer Science), Chapter 3, Problem 1MC

In the above example, it specifies the font for two paragraphs. The first paragraph “This is a paragraph, shown in the Arial font” is written in the “Arial” font and the second paragraph “This is a paragraph, shown in the Times New Roman font” is written in the “Times New Roman” font.

Explanation for incorrect options:

Face:

The face attribute is used to specify the font for the text, which is inside the <font> element.

Hence, the option “A” is wrong.

Font-face:

The font-face operator is used to show a font on the web-page even if that font is not installed.

Hence, the option “C” is wrong.

Size:

The property size is used to set the size of a font.

Hence, the option “D” is wrong.
