    hi there, a question:

    whats the diference between
    font-family: "Times New Roman", verdana, georgia, serif;
    and
    font-family: Times New Roman, verdana, georgia, serif;

    why use " " in the first case? or sometimes I see too something like this font-family: "Times New Roman", "Georgia" verdana, serif;
    you know 2 first between " "

    thanks!

    Any font family with whitespace in it's name should be within quotation marks, like Times New Roman, whereas Verdana or Georgia are just single words and do not require them.

    If I remember correctly, it makes the browser understand that a font like "Times New Roman", is actually a single entity and not misread it as three different fonts. I am sure one of the others in here will correct me if I am on the wrong track...
