The following are lists of good, web-safe font families for HTML/CSS (there are others less reliable). The browser will try each member of the family in order until reaching the generic, which will always work.

In the example below, we’d prefer the site page use Times New Roman, but if that’s not available to the browser, then the browser should use Times, and finally the default serif font if the others cannot be found.

p {
    font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
}
