[sllug-members]: Developing websites for *today's* masses

[Michael Heath]

Official Font Familes are as listed on that Wikipedia page. Different
browsers, otherwise, handle them differently. I've given you some safe and
traditional values.

Why do you want to use these fonts? Weird, elaborate, or decorative fonts
are annoying inline with the body of your text, and can be replaced with
images for logos. The Font-Families are simple and haven't been expanded
much for a reason: there isn't a need. Simple, clean fonts are sufficient
and should be used whenever possible.
