Answer 1

There's no default font ( font-face/font-family ) mentioned. in W3C .

NOTE:

If you specify a font on a web page or in an SVG file that the user doesn't have available, then you're relying on the browser or browser plugin to find a reasonably good match for that font. Given only the font name, it's going to do a bad job of matching. Use the font attribute with a combination of the font-family and other attributes to provide some information that will get a font more like the one you want. The generic family names you can use are 'serif', 'sans-serif', 'cursive', 'fantasy', and 'monospace' (from the CSS specification). You can also use other family names like "Times", "Baskerville", "Verdena", and "Symbol."
