Thanks Tim for both files. That was precisely what I needed to get me started. I'm much clearer now :) I was right now tweaking my Firefox font settings and I was doing this experiment with the Google search results page. This page asks for: "arial, sans-serif" Exactly like that. And then...I had my Firefox setting (the way it comes out by default). For sans-serif I had "sans-serif"... and the actual font I got was: "Liberation Sans" That's what I get when I do: fc-match arial. And I know it's this font because I recognize it visually. But HERE IS THE THING...I changed my Sans-serif setting in Firefox to some weird font like "Jomolhari". I closed and opened Firefox again and I'm surprised that I actually get "Jomolhari"! How come? Why isn't Firefox presenting the substitute I have for arial (since it is requested as the first option)? It seems that , no matter what, if there's an explicit request for a familiy (sans-serif in this case) it will then use the font you specified in the settings. Thanks!
