Deciding to do something for the good of humanity, richardv2
<richardv2@cox.net> spouted in alt.html:

> font-family: "MS Sans-serif", sans-serif, Georgia, Whatever

The last 2 font names there (Georgia and Whatever) are pointless -
sans-serif is the generic font family, so if the browser gets to that
point in the list, it will use its default sans-serif font. It will
never get to the rest of the list. If you want to specify multiple
fonts, they need to be before the generic option.
