I am doing the About You Course and I am on the section 2.8 Fonts And I am trying to use a different Font-Families other than the given font-family: Helvetica;. Can anyone help by giving me a list of other Font-Families?

Hi Matt,
There are literally hundreds, and very probably thousands of font families. Don’t try to remember them all ;). This Wikipedia link has a list of some (not all) font families: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_typefaces I don’t think there is anywhere that has a list of every single font family, though, because there are just soo many.
As you continue to learn programming stuff, you’ll learn how to link up a web font so that users without a certain font on their computer (for instance, I don’t have Helvetica) can see it. When you learn that, you’ll need some places to get fonts from. This list of resources should probably help you: https://www.codehive.io/boards/e9WjY3U
Good luck in learning to code!

Hey Zeke, I just wanted to say “Thank you for that!” [> U <]
@Charles T: My pleasure!
I have a little Side Question, where can I learn to link up a web font so that users without a certain font on their computer can see it?
With Google Fonts, find the font you’d like to use, then click the little right arrow icon. You’ll be taken to a page where you get to choose which variations of the font you’d like (the more you select, the slower the page loads, so only get stuff you need). Once you’ve found the variations you’d like, scroll down, and you’ll see some code you can copy to import & use the font. Hope this helps :)
Thanks!! You’re really helpful!!!
Haha, thanks :)
