The obsolete
HTMLFontElement.face
property is a string that reflects the face HTML attribute, containing a comma-separated list of one or more font
names.
The document text, in the default style, is rendered as the first font face that the client's browser supports. If no font listed is installed on the local system, the browser typically defaults to the proportional or fixed-width font for that system.
The format of the string must follow one of the following HTML microsyntax:
| Microsyntax | Description | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| List of one or more valid font family names | A list of font names, that have to be present on the local system | courier,verdana |
A string.
// Assumes there is <font id="f"> element in the HTML
const f = document.getElementById("f");
f.face = "arial";
