Sorry, but contrary to popular belief I do have a life not online ;-)
But to your question. No idea in DreamWeaver, do not use such and feel
it is a very bad crutch for a newbie. All web documents HTML markup,
stylesheets JavaScript and server-side Perl, PHP and the like are just
plain text files so I use a plain text editor and a newbie should do
likewise.

To do as you wish in your stylesheet optional fonts faces and generic
family is normally define like:

font-family: arial, helvetica, "lucida sans", sans-serif;

^^^^^ ^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^
List optional fonts, quote multi-word names, last generic font family

Generic families: serif, sans-serif, cursive, fantasy, monospace

Windows font Veranda normally not a good choice because it is "oversize"
so for users without your text will be too small.

For stylesheets you should look at:

Cascading Style Sheets, Level 2
