Define Web-safe fonts.  Describe Generic font families, including each of the three generic font families that are consistently understood by browsers.

What will be an ideal response?


Web-safe fonts are fonts likely to be available on Windows, Mac, and Linux-based computer systems.

Generic font families are part of the CSS specification and are displayed if no other fonts in the list are available.  Only three generic font families are consistently understood by browsers and therefore safe to use-serif, sans serif, and monospace.

•A serif font, such as Times New Roman, has visible strokes at the ends of the character.
•A sans-serif font, such as Arial, has no strokes at the end of the character.
•A monospace font, such as Courier, has equal space between the characters.
