Times is pretty much Sans-Serif.

The other fonts you've mentioned are not all found on all platforms. For example my Mozilla lacks the support for Cursive & Fantasy. That said the font drop down only shows some default fonts. You can enter any font name you desire into the font tag.

I think you didn't understand me, the generic font families is not specified fonts, they can be rendered as anything, given by the family. if I specify sans-serif, I know that the font will be rendered as a serif, but if it's Times, Times New Roman, Garamond etc, I dont know, and I shold not know it either, because you shall never trust that your viewer has those specified fonts, only that they have one font in that specified family.

And Times is a serif.
