Listers,
General cascade question...
Can I spec my fallback font stack on the body, like:
body{font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;}
and then, on ONLY the elements that I wish to use a custom font, spec
JUST the custom font, like:
h1{font-family: 'HelveticaNeueW01-57Cn';}
and have the fallback work properly because of the body font-family
declaration?
Or do I have to spec the whole stack on each element, like:
h1{font-family:
'HelveticaNeueW01-57Cn',Arial,Helmet,Freesans,sans-serif;}
Thanks in advance.
Assuming I understand the question I think you need...
Nope. I know how to make a font stack. I want to know if a custom font
on H1 will fall back to the stack on the body, or do I need the whole
stack - custom and fallbacks - on the H1.
TIA
I think you need to declare both the custom font /and/ its fallbacks
on H1. For example, if the custom font for h1 is a slab-serif, and the
font and fallbacks declared on the body declaration are sans, in all
likelihood h1 will render a /serif/ in browsers and device browsers
not supporting @font-face [unless perhaps if the user has declared
sans as the default font in her browser preferences, or has a user
style sheet with sans as default.
