Fonts are specific to platform. You will have different look and feel of a web page on different machines running different operating systems like Windows, Linux or Mac iOS. Here we are giving a list of fonts which are available in various operating systems.
HTML <font> tag is deprecated in version 4.0 onwards and now all fonts are set by using CSS. Here is the simple syntax of setting font of a body of web page.
body {
font-family: "new century schoolbook";
}
or
<body style = "font-family:new century schoolbook;">
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Font Setting Using CSS</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Change any of the style and try it.</p>
<div style = "font-family:verdana;">This is demo for font family</div>
<br />
<div style = "font-size:120%;">This is demo for font size</div>
<br />
<div style = "font-size:14pt;">This is demo for font size</div>
</body>
</html>
