Click OK to save the changes.
The Style drop-down list can also be used to specify a normal or oblique face within a font family. The different options are defined below.
A value of normal selects a font that is classified as 'normal' in the web browsers font database. Normal font styles are sometimes referred to as Roman or Upright.
A value of italic selects a font that is classified as 'italic' in the web browsers font database or, if that is not available, one labeled 'oblique'. Fonts with Italic, Cursive or Kursiv in their names will typically be labeled 'italic'.
A value of oblique selects a font that is classified as 'oblique' in the web browsers font database. 'The font that is labeled 'oblique' in the web browsers font database may actually have been generated by electronically slanting a normal font. Fonts with Oblique, Slanted or Incline in their names will typically be labeled 'oblique' in the web browsers font database.
