UI Elements

• Installed fonts
  Lists fonts that are installed on your system. Some browsers might display these fonts differently or substitute a local font if a font that is selected for a style is not available locally.

• Generic fonts
  Lists fonts that are guaranteed to work in all browsers. Generic font formatting ensures consistent performance regardless of the Web browser.

• Custom fonts
  Specifies custom fonts, which are either created by you or provided by a third party, and installed on your system. As with other installed fonts, some browsers might display these fonts differently or substitute a local font if a font that is selected for a style is not available locally.

• Selected fonts
  Specifies the sequence in which fonts are prioritized for display on your pages. Installed, generic, and custom fonts that you add to the Selected fonts list appear in the order, from top to bottom, in which you added them. If the first font in the list is not available locally to a user who is browsing your page, fonts are substituted sequentially until a match is found. If no matches are found, a system font is used as a substitute.

  After you select a font in the Selected fonts list, use the buttons listed in the following table to add, remove, or change the font sequence.
