CSS fonts should be based on a generic font family to ensure an appropriate style font is rendered in any circumstances. Preferred font names should be declared in order of preference in a comma separated font family list tailored for specific platforms.
serif
Serif fonts tend to have a relatively narrow, upright shape with distinctive serifs across the end of the letter strokes. Serif font faces are generally considered to have a classic, formal, businesslike font style that is reliable for the Web. Use the CSS font family name serif.
The only serif fonts common to all systems are the ubiquitous Times New Roman and Georgia, although its frequency on Unix family operating systems is quite low. The original Times font on which Times New Roman is based is common to Mac and Unix family systems.
Palatino is found on Mac and to a lesser extent Unix systems and is the inspiration for Book Antiqua, which is quite common on Windows. Garamond is available on Windows and Mac systems, but is not very common on either.
As their names suggest, New Century Schoolbook for Mac, Century Schoolbook for Windows and Century Schoolbook L for Unix family systems have a common style. Also, Bookman for Mac, Bookman Old Style for Windows and URW Bookman L have a common heritage.
