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>

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.
