Name
font — NN n/a IE 4 CSS 1
Synopsis
Inherited: Yes
A shorthand attribute that lets you set one or more font-related attributes with one assignment statement. A space-delimited list of values (in any sequence) are applied to the specific font attribute for which the value is a valid type. In CSS2, some additional short-circuit constants apply named system fonts that have fixed values for each of the font-related attributes.
CSS Syntax
font:font-style||font-variant||font-weight|| font-size||line-height||font-family|CSS2FontConstant
Value
For syntax and examples of value types for font and line attributes,
see the respective attribute listing. The CSS2 font constants are as
follows: caption | icon |
menu | messagebox |
smallcaption | statusbar. These
constants refer to browser and operating system fonts used by the
client. Their precise appearance are therefore different on different
operating systems but are consistent with the user’s
expectation for a particular type of font. In other words, these
styles should be used when their function mirrors a system or browser
function.
Initial Value
None.
Example
BODY {font: 12pt serif}
H2 {font: bolder small-caps 16pt}
.iconCaption {font: caption}Applies To
All elements.
