  Why would you recommend such a deprecated construct as above? You can
do the same in HTML 4 as you do in XHTML.

  Well, it's only available on Windows, isn't it? How about other
fonts (Nesf and Nesf2)? BTW, do you have any  recommended font for CSS
generic 'serif' and other CSS generic font style? For cursive (most,
if not all, Arabic fonts should be cursive), fantasy and monospace,
it may be hard to find any reasonable match.
