HTMLFontElement: face property

The obsolete HTMLFontElement.face property is a string that reflects the face HTML attribute, containing a comma-separated list of one or more font names.

The document text, in the default style, is rendered as the first font face that the client’s browser supports. If no font listed is installed on the local system, the browser typically defaults to the proportional or fixed-width font for that system.

The format of the string must follow one of the following HTML microsyntax:

Microsyntax	Description	Examples
List of one or more valid font family names	A list of font names, that have to be present on the local system	courier,verdana

Value

A string.

Examples

// Assumes there is <font id="f"> element in the HTML

f.face = "arial";
