Hi
Specifying Sans-serif (or serif) allows the browser to specify whatever it's default font for either type is. E.g For my Firebird install sans-serif is Verdana, serif is Georgia.
Sans is French for "without", sort of sounds like "soarn".
Cheers James

You have only specified tahoma as the font in your stylesheet. (I think) the error is telling you to add a generic font such as 'sans-serif' or 'serif' ? This way if the user doesn't have Tahoma the browser will use the system's default san-serif font...
E.g.
font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;

*Hey Everyone!*
Well I have been soldering on with my first attempt at a fully CSS powered website.
I have the total layout setup: www.neester.com/index2.php <http://www.neester.com/index2.php>
The only thing bugging me is this error:
/Line : 0// font-family: You are encouraged to offer a generic family as a last alternative/
How do I fix that?
I don’t know what it means, how does one offer a generic family?
*Thanks in advance!*
