About This Tool
What happens if your web font fails to load? A well-crafted CSS font stack ensures the browser has a list of fallback fonts to try, preventing the user from seeing a jarring default. This tool generates a robust font stack, starting with your chosen Google Font and followed by a series of similar system fonts for different operating systems, ending with a generic keyword like 'serif' or 'sans-serif'.
How to Use
- Select your desired primary Google Font from the dropdown list.
- The tool will instantly generate a complete, best-practice `font-family` CSS rule.
- The generated stack is tailored based on the category of your selected font (e.g., a serif font gets serif fallbacks).
- Click the 'Copy' button to place the rule in your clipboard, ready to be pasted into your stylesheet.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Why is the font stack so long?
It includes specific fonts targeting different operating systems (macOS, Windows, Linux) to ensure the most consistent fallback experience possible across all devices before defaulting to the browser's generic choice.
Why are some fonts in quotes?
In CSS, any font name containing a space must be enclosed in quotes, such as 'Times New Roman'.
