HTML font-family setup

I am trying to setup the font-family "Ravie" in a HTML document using the following code:

<h2><font font-family="ravie">Articles</font></h2>

but this is not working. Why not?

<h2 style="font-family:tahoma">Articles</h2>

The <font> tag is deprecated in the latest versions of HTML (HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.0).

<h2><td align="center" class="addfont">Articles</h2>

.addfont
{
    font-family: 'ravie';
}

can you try like this? It's very simple . Another advantage is the script can be used inside the page or outside the page,but if you use the outside of page. You must use below the line

<link href="/styles/Filename.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

To use the deprecated FONT tag:

<h2><font face="ravie">Articles</font></h2>

Better yet is to use inline styles:

<h2 style="font-family:ravie" >Articles</h2>

And even better is to use header style information:

<head>
    <style>
    h2 {font-family: ravie;}
    </style>
</head>
<body>
    <h2>Articles</h2>
</body>

Best of all is to move the style declaration to an external style sheet, and this is standard practice unless you have a strong reason for not doing so.

you do it like this:

<h2 style="font-family:arial">...</h2>

or you do it in your stylesheet. like this:

<h2 class="somthing">...</h2>
.something { font-family:arial }

don't use <font> tags as they have been deprecated.

The <font> tag is deprecated and no longer used. The better practice now is to use CSS combined with selectors, divs, and spans to style fonts.
