It may take a little while to learn them all but its worth your time, you'll have fun experimenting with them and your projects will be as beautiful and readable as never before! Also, this time, we worked with web-safe fonts.

After all, it was time to study and concentrate a little more on the basic code that on the visual aspect of your text; but in the coming chapter, I'll tell you everything you need to know about more personal, visual font choices!
