FontFamily

Description:

The font designation for text that appears in menu items.

Value:

String, "", or JavaScript expression that returns a string/"".

Applies To:

Menu Items.

Browser Compatibility:

FontFamily is supported in all browsers, though not all browsers may recognize all possible CSS values (especially Netscape 4.x).

Comments:

FontFamily should be applied as a string, which means the value you supply should always be in quotes. Allowed values for FontFamily are the same as those allowed in the standard CSS font-family property (see the W3C Specs) and in fact, the value you supply is transferred as is to the JavaScript fontFamily property for each menu item.

Examples:

// Ok:
FontFamily:"Helvetica, sans-serif",   // Helvetica or sans-serif
FontFamily:"MS Sans Serif",
FontFamily:"",                        // use style sheet default
FontFamily:(HM_Mac)?"Geneva":"Arial", // Geneva on Mac; else Arial

// Incorrect:
FontFamily:Arial,   // quotes required
FontFamily:"150",   // must be valid font identifier
FontFamily:"(HM_Mac)?'Geneva':'Arial'", // no quoted expressions here

Default:

"Arial, sans-serif"
