The essential strategy, which has been the key factor in the improvement of our web experience in recent years (along with more standards-compliant browsers) is this:

You should not clutter up your HTML with any code affecting the way it looks, except to add classes or id's to the HTML elements which are defined in your CSS document(s) — ideally, not even to use inline CSS.

"Re: HTML authoring - specifying a font":
Technically, you could, but it's considered very bad practice in any to use any font tags in HTML. And font tags have been deprecated for years. You should always assign fonts (and, as much as possible, any code affecting presentation) in CSS, and you can assign them to the body element there.

The one possible consideration where it might be considered acceptable is in HTML email, but even there, you should assign it as CSS (using font-face or font-family).

Don't do it!
