Chapter 2. Restrictions

Important

The properties not listed in the following two tables are not supported by XXE.

The following properties can be inherited whether explicitly (inherit keyword) or implicitly (inherited property).

For all properties except line-height where the specified number is inherited (which is the correct behavior), the inherited value is the actual value not the computed value.

font

[style weight?]? size family |inherit

Order is strictly style then weight

font-family

[[name|generic] ,]* [name|generic] |inherit

font-family is expected to contain serif, sans-serif or monospace. Example: "font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;".

However a few well-know font families are mapped to the corresponding generic font families. Example: "font-family: verdana;" is understood to be sans-serif.

All other cases will cause the serif font family to be used. Example: "font-family: 'Nimbus Sans';".
