Styles define how to display HTML elements
Styles are normally stored in Style Sheets
Styles were added to HTML 4.0 to solve a problem
External style sheets can save a lot of work
External style sheets are stored in CSS files
Multiple style definitions will cascade into one

13. How to Select a Font Family?

• Rules-of-Thumb
– Don’t use more than 3-4 fonts on any one page
– Don’t change the font in mid sentence unless you
have a very good reason
– Sans-serif for online, serif for print
– Monospace for typewriter and code
– Script and fantasy for accents
• Sans-serif fonts are the basis of your site, for
example:
– Arial, geneva, helvetica, lucida sans, trebuchet,
verdana
– Verdana is a font family that was actually invented
for use on the web

14. Selecting Font, Continue

• Use serif fonts for print
– If you have print friendly versions of your site, use
serif fonts
– Examples: garamond, georgia, new york, times,
times new roman
• Monospace for bode examples
– Use it to provide instructions, give examples, or
imply typewritten text
– Examples: courier, courier new, lucida console,
monaco
