The
text of this sentence is set in a serif font.
Sans-serif fonts do not have any details at the ends of the character
strokes. They have a more plain appearance than serif fonts.
Examples of sans-serif fonts include Trebuchet MS, Arial, and
Verdana. The headings in this book are set in a sans-serif font.
Monospace fonts such as Courier and Monotype give equal spacing
to every letter (???i??? has the same amount of space as ???m???) and are
typically used for code blocks in computer-related books (this book
is no exception), or to simulate the look of a typewriter, whatever
that is.
Cursive fonts look like cursive handwriting, although much neater
than my own. Examples include Comic Sans MS and Brush Script.
Cursive fonts often have very thin strokes, which don??™t display well
on-screen, and therefore aren??™t used much on the Web. If you use
a cursive font, check it in various browsers, because every browser
seems to use a different font for cursive.
Fantasy fonts are ones that don??™t ?¬? t in the other categories. The
main fantasy here is the hope that this might be a useful way to
specify a font. It??™s almost impossible to predict what font might be
served up as a fantasy font from browser to browser, and therefore,
it??™s best if you avoid fantasy fonts. Also, ???fantasy??? isn??™t really an
accepted font collection name in the way that cursive and serif are.
