Tip:The value of the 'face' attribute can save several font names as alternatives. Place the font you wish to display most prominently at the first position in the font list. If the first font is unavailable, use the subsequent alternative fonts. You should place a generic font at the end (e.g., serif, sans-serif).-serif, monospace, cursive, or fantasy), so that when the fonts listed earlier are not available, the browser can find the font in the general font library.
