I am not a guru. I'm not even religious. Wait, what does guru actually mean? :goes to wikipedia: "one who is regarded as having great knowledge, wisdom, and authority in a certain area". Oh, so that's what guru means. Wow, that's quite the compliment, DrGreen. Thank you, though I doubt I deserve such high accolades! Whoah, there! I am not a guru. I’m not even religious.

To answer your question: enters and spacing are an invaluable part of legible text. Breaking up long blocks of text is crucial to ensure ease of skimming on the user's part. It's also a lot more pleasing to the eye than just 200+ lines of continuous text. A lot of fonts have some sort of meaning attached to them which you can break up into keywords as it were, sure. The 6 that I featured in this post are the ones that are guaranteed to be web safe. @argeni Glad you like the post!

I find it very usefull. Whats your point on using enter/spacing? Do you have more keywords for different fonts, like the last list of 6 fonts you wrote? Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Plus, that approach would set beginners back because you wouldn't, or it would be difficult to extrapolate the abstract notions explained in the tutorial. I'll try to take your advice, though, for future tutorials. Thank you for your comment! @flashfs:

Glad you liked it. I know there was more to be said but this one's aimed at beginners mostly so it probably would've been a bad idea to extend it more. Thanks for the comments guys.
