Possibly a dumb question, but how does one change the font in HTML/CSS? I know there must be a way, and I'm sure it's very simple, but I've looked but can't see it...

- Specifying area of site in a font: body
-
Font type: Garamond.....
body { font-family: Garamond, Times, serif; }

2,435 PointsThere are many more fonts thatn that , they don thave to be Garamond etc..
The reason why you put 3, is in case the browser or computer dont work.
If im on windows, helvetica will skip it to arial, and if i don thave arial either.. it will go to sans-serif. If im on Mac, it will skip arial and give me helvetica.
