HTML - Fonts Reference

Fonts are specific to platform. You will have different look and feel of a web page on different machines running different operating systems like Windows, Linux or Mac iOS. Here we are giving a list of fonts which are available in various operating systems.

HTML <font> tag is deprecated in version 4.0 onwards and now all fonts are set by using CSS. Here is the simple syntax of setting font of a body of web page.

body {
   font-family: "new century schoolbook";
}

or

<body style = "font-family:new century schoolbook;">

Example

Let's look at the basic example of the usage of the fonts in the HTML document

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
   <title>Font Setting Using CSS</title>
</head>
<body>
   <p>Change any of the style and try it.</p>
   <div style="font-family:verdana;">This is demo for font family</div>
   <br />
   <div style="font-size:120%;">This is demo for font size</div>
   <br />
   <div style="font-size:14pt;">This is demo for font size</div>
</body>
</html>

When we run the above code, the output window will pop up displaying the text with different fonts displayed on the webpage.
