Css Tutorial : Font Shorthand

You probably won’t be surprised to discover that there are some useful methods of shortening
font declarations, pulling several into one simple statement. Later you’ll combine four or five
declarations into one, but for now, let’s collate font-family and font-size.
As mentioned in previous chapters, the most important thing with shorthand is the order
in which declarations are stated. In this case, font-size precedes font-family.
/* Specify blanket rules for all elements */
body {
font: 12px "Lucida Grande", Arial, Sans-serif;
}
With this basic knowledge of the two most important CSS font properties in your arsenal,
you can now begin to experiment with new and interesting font choices. To get you started, in
the following section we’ll plough into the vast array of available web fonts of which there is an
exhaustive and unlimited choice. (I’m joking again.)
