When a Mac user goes to a web page, if the author has called for
a certain element to have the text inside displayed in a
*particular* font (like Geneva), and the user has not ticked any
override preferences, the font will display in Geneva if he has
that font (likely on a Mac).

If the author specifies only that his text should be in a
sans-serif font, the text will appear in whatever the user has
set for sans-serif in his browser (preferences have choices).

Serif, sans-serif and monospaced fonts are usually openly
mentioned in browser preferences. In iCab there is cursive
options. In Safari and Firefox there seems not to be settings for
cursive and yet these browsers still render the same cursive text
that iCab does when called for. But I see no obvious setting for
such in these browsers. So,the system must be supplying the
choice. But what tells the system what to supply, the Mac owner
presumably can get at these settings. How?
