In CSS, I usually go with the usual
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
For a little change, I'm going for a font that looks like handwriting. Can some of the expert CSS folks here suggest what would be some of the safest fonts (most widely available in most browsers) that look like handwriting?
Similar to sans-serif
there is a generic cursive
that it a "font that resembles handwriting". This will vary by browser (as will sans-serif
) but could be a good place to start.
Here is a survey of script
family fonts installed per user (year 2012):
They all look significantly different from each other so you'd lose some consistency, but some are quite widely adopted.
Their main installed fonts are (FOR WINDOWS ONLY):
Comic Sans MS 99.13%
Monotype Corsiva 82.29%
Bradley Hand ITC 63.02%
Tempus Sans ITC 62.68%
French Script MT 62.39%
