# Define fallback font?

 * Good morning and merry xmas!
 * I’m twiddling with abisko and wordpress in general, and it is generally a good
   experience. Thank you for this!
 * TL;DR: How do I specify the fallback-font to be “sans-serif” ?
 * When I was closing in on completion, I created a font-subset to have a reduced
   download-weight on the fonts, and it initially collided with the cache or something.
   This made me see the page as it probably would look on a very slow (3G?) connection,
   and the font it used was a serif system font? Can I change this to be
 * `font-display: swap;`
   `font-family: "mywebfont", sans-serif;`
 * I’d like this to be embedded way up in the “editor-hierarchy”, but if necessary
   would throw it in the style.css of course…
 * Thank you!
