Definition and Usage
The face attribute specifies the font of the text inside a font element.
Tip: The value of the face attribute can hold several font names as a
"fallback" system. List the font that you want first, followed by any fonts that
can fill in for the first, if it is unavailable. You should end the list with a
generic font (serif, sans-serif, monospace, cursive or fantasy), to let the
browser pick a font that is in the generic family, if no other fonts are
available.
Browser Support
The face attribute is supported in all major browsers.
Compatibility Notes
The face attribute of <font> is deprecated, and
is not supported in HTML 4.01 Strict / XHTML 1.0 Strict
