font list, want last font to be italic Options

[deleyd]

How do I specify, I have a list of fonts, the first few fonts are normal, but if the user has none of them, I want the last font to be italic?

<span style="font-family: &Quot;Courier New&Quot;,&Quot;Times New Roman&Quot;;">some text</span>

So in this contrived bad example, if the user has Courier New, use that, else use Times New Roman.

But what if I want Courier New to be normal, and if the user doesn't have Courier New, then I want to use Times New Roman Italic? I tried just specifying "Times New Roman Italic", but the computer just thought I was an idiot and denied my request for italics.

So far I only know to use <I>...</I> to get italic always. Haven't figured out how to throw in a font-style for the last font only.
