Property Values
The following table describes the values of this property.
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| family-name | The name of a font family. For example, "Times" and "Helvetica" are font families. Font family names containing whitespace should be quoted. |
| generic-family | Generic font families can be used as a general fallback mechanism when the desired font choices are not available. As generic family names are keywords, they must not be quoted.
A generic font family should be the last alternative in the list of font family names. The following generic families are defined:
|
| initial | Sets this property to its default value. |
| inherit | If specified, the associated element takes the computed value of its parent element animation-delay property. |
| revert | Reverts the cascaded value of the property from its current value to the value the property |
| revert-layer | Rollback styles to the ones specified in previous cascade layers. |
| unset | Resets a property to its inherited value if the property naturally inherits from its parent, and to its initial value if not. |
