In a web browser, font style is a CSS (custom style sheet) property used in HTML and ASP.NET programming, defining the font style for text.
There are four possible options for font style.
- normal
- italic
- oblique
- inherit
If font style is not specified, “normal” is the default option. “Inherit” is an option available in Internet Explorer 8 or later (not supported in prior versions) and specifies the style to be inherited from the parent element. Italic and oblique are slanted versions of the selected font.
