'sans-serif' isn't a font lol. It's like what you put if none of the specified fonts are installed, it's the browsers version of it basically. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Yes it is, Microsoft Sans-Serif is more commonly referred to as Sans-Serif.

No, I mean in css when you specify it at the end of font-family :P


You list the font that you want first, then any fonts that might fill in for the first if it is unavailable, and you should end the list with a generic font, of which there are five: serif, sans-serif, monospace, cursive and fantasy.
