font family

[Guest]

I am getting lots of errors on my css validation.
I have chosen TrebuchetMS as my font but it is asking what family.
I have also chosen Lucida console for my titles. Does that have a family
name?

font-family: TrebuchetMS, "Lucida Console", sans-serif, 'serif';

Wasn't in the mood to scroll through 280 fonts to verify the spelling.

The font is TrebuchetMS
What is the family?
The font is Lucida Console
What is the family?

I am doing this to validate my css (as you suggested/implied)
It is my undertanding that using the family and the font allows substitution
in disagreeable browsers.
FP is inserting the word font family in the css when I select a font.
What is your website url?
Thanx
bill

Hi Bill,
Font family takes your first font then if that isn't available uses your
next choice etc. Basically start with the font you like then go through the
options until you arrive at the last resort which is a serif font (with
twiddly bits on the letters - eg times new roman) or without (eg arial).
Trebuchet is a sans serif font so your family would be

font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

Note there's a space in Trebuchet MS which means it needs quotes around.
