Or the opposite, designed to more likely use one possibly better tuned for
the native environment:
font-family:
'URW Palladio L', /* Linux, FOSS, though rarely installed elsewhere */
Palatino, /* Mac native, superior on Mac to Palatino Linotype */
'Palatino Linotype', /* Windows, unlikely to have either above */
'Book Antiqua', /* extra fallback for old Windows*/
Georgia, /* Linux w/ Windows fonts installed will have this, but not PL... */
serif; /* ...near universally a smaller x-height than all those above */
For those not aware of the implications of Linux being a multiuser operating
system, one using it can have multiple simultaneous logins using separate X
sessions. Supported format font files in ~/.fonts instead of
/usr/share/fonts* will be found only by that user's browser(s), allowing one
person with one system and display to virtually simultaneously observe the
impact of different font availability sets.
