My understanding is that based on the "computed" font-family of a
selector (through the cascade) the font is selected and applied using
a linear search. Thus, if font-family of certain text (through the
cascade) is computed to be font-family: Monaco, Consolas, "Lucida
Console", sans, sans-serif; then the search for installed font starts
on the given computer with "Monaco" font and ends at "sans-serif"
font. Is my understanding right?

But looking at the computed style of an element (using say "Inspect
element"), it is not immediately clear what actual font-family is
being chosen to render the text. Is there a way to know that?

Kedar
