Hi Xaxio, <p>Fonts come in many different varieties. The Arial font, for example, does not have serifs.</p> <div>arial</div> <p>However, font varieties go beyond simple serif and sans-serif distinctions. The Old English font is neither of these, instead being considered a "decorative" font.</p><div>Old English</div> The above example has meaning with or without the divs, and the placement of the divs doesn't matter. They could be in a font index at the end of the document, as long as the data consumer knows to look there if example are needed. right? >The fact that they are enclosed in the <figure> elements means that they are referenced somewhere, I believe. so if not referenced somewhere, they should not be in a figure? -- Regards SteveF HTML 5.1 <http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/> On 20 June 2013 20:46, Xaxio Brandish <xaxiobrandish@gmail.com> wrote: > <p>Fonts come in many different varieties.
