CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) style sheets define a set of default fonts, aka desperation fonts, aka logical fonts, guaranteed to be available to every browser.

Dialog DialogInput Monospaced SansSerif Serif
The five CSS logical fonts cursive, fantasy, monospace, sans-serif, serif are guaranteed available in every browser. Note the names are slightly different from the logical fonts of last resort in Java : CSS ’s monospace vs Java Monospaced, sans-serif vs SansSerif and serif vs Serif. Make sure you specify these names without surrounding quotes. Further, make sure every font-family specification ends with one of these logical fonts so CSS will always have some available font to use for rendering.
