Re: web-safe fonts & characters 2014

[Tony Chung <tonyc -at- tonychung -dot- ca>]

Technically there are only three "safe" web fonts: serif, sans-serif, and
monospace.

The rest depend on what's available on the user's machine.

The best practice is to specify a cascading list of similar fonts across
devices:

font-family: "open sans", "segoe ui", univers, arial, helvetica, helv,
swiss, sans-serif;

You only need to specify quotes on the font names that use spaces. This may
no longer be required in current browsers, but it's still a good practice.

How much control do you have over the CSS files in confluence?
