CSS Font Shorthand
 

When using shorthand on the font property you need to specify each property in the following order

body { font: font-style font-variant font-weight font-size line-height font-family; }

You don’t need to include every property, but know that for any you don’t include that property will be reset to it’s default.

When styling fonts with CSS you may be doing this:

font-weight: bold;
font-style: italic;
font-variant: small-caps;
font-size: 1em;
line-height: 1.5em;
font-family: verdana,sans-serif
There's no need though as you can use this CSS shorthand property:

font: bold italic small-caps 1em/1.5em verdana,sans-serif

You can separate by commas like "bold","italic"

CSS Font Shorthand and styling fonts with CSS you may be doing with
font: 1em/1.5em bold italic serif

instead of

font-size: 1em;
line-height: 1.5em;
font-weight: bold;
font-style: italic;
font-family: serif

Please try for it.

When you use the shorthand property, i think you should remember that it requires both the size and the family...
