bad87fee1348bd9aedf08808	Specify How Fonts Should Degrade	0	https://scrimba.com/c/cpVKBfQ

Description

There are several default fonts that are available in all browsers. These generic font families include monospace, serif and sans-serif When one font isn't available, you can tell the browser to "degrade" to another font. For example, if you wanted an element to use the Helvetica font, but degrade to the sans-serif font when Helvetica isn't available, you will specify it as follows:

p {
  font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;
}

Generic font family names are not case-sensitive. Also, they do not need quotes because they are CSS keywords.

Instructions

To begin with, apply the monospace font to the h2 element, so that it now has two fonts - Lobster and monospace. In the last challenge, you imported the Lobster font using the link tag. Now comment out that import of the Lobster font(using the HTML comments you learned before) from Google Fonts so that it isn't available anymore. Notice how your h2 element degrades to the monospace font. Note: If you have the Lobster font installed on your computer, you won't see the degradation because your browser is able to find the font.

Tests

tests:
  - text: Your h2 element should use the font <code>Lobster</code>.
    testString: assert($("h2").css("font-family").match(/^"?lobster/i), 'Your h2 element should use the font <code>Lobster</code>.');
  - text: Your h2 element should degrade to the font <code>monospace</code> when <code>Lobster</code> is not available.
    testString: assert(/\s*h2\s*\{\s*font-family\:\s*(\'|")?Lobster(\'|")?,\s*monospace\s*;\s*\}/gi.test(code), 'Your h2 element should degrade to the font <code>monospace</code> when <code>Lobster</code> is not available.');
  - text: Comment out your call to Google for the <code>Lobster</code> font by putting <code>&#60!--</code> in front of it.
    testString: assert(new RegExp("<!--[^fc]", "gi").test(code), 'Comment out your call to Google for the <code>Lobster</code> font by putting <code>&#60;!--</code> in front of it.');
  - text: Be sure to close your comment by adding <code>--&#62;!</code>.
    testString: assert(new RegExp("[^fc]-->", "gi").test(code), 'Be sure to close your comment by adding <code>--&#62;!</code>.');
