Remarks

The value is a prioritized list of font family names and generic family names. List items are separated by commas to minimize confusion between multiple-word font family names. If the font family name contains white space, it should appear in single or double quotation marks; generic font family names are values and cannot appear in quotation marks.

Because you do not know which fonts users have installed, you should provide a list of alternatives with a generic font family at the end of the list. This list can include embedded fonts. For more information about embedding fonts, see the @font-face rule.
