face | NN 6 IE 4 DOM 1

Provides a hierarchy of font faces to use for the content surrounded by the current font object.

Font face names must match the system font face names exactly.
Example
    document.getElementById("myFont").face = "Bookman, Times Roman, serif";
Value
One or more font face names in a comma-delimited list within a string. You may use real font names or the recognized generic faces: serif | sans-serif | monospace.
Default
Browser default.
