Fonts are fun to customize. Here's a list of fonts that are good to use no matter what browser you have, along with a few special fonts. Remember that if you use a font that has spaces in its name you must use "" around the name.

You can also use multiple fonts to ensure that the font you want is used by the browser. You can do this by using , after the font and listing a new one. A good thing to do as well is using serif and sans-serif as your last font choice to default to the browser's basic font if no font choice matches.

Serif Fonts - Fonts that have "serifs", or "tails" at the beginning/end of characters.



Sans-Serif Fonts - Fonts without serifs.



Monospace Fonts - Fonts where each character occupies the same width.



Ernya Fonts - Fonts that Prezrok has installed into the Ernya themes. May not work in all browsers!
