Font style
In a web browser, font style is a custom style sheet (CSS) 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, and inherit. If 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.
