            <h2>About This Tool</h2>
            <p>A well-designed font stack ensures your text looks great on any device, even if your chosen web font doesn't load. This tool helps you create a comprehensive `font-family` declaration that includes common system fonts as fallbacks, providing a consistent visual experience across different operating systems and browsers.</p>
        </section>
        <section id="how-to" class="content-section">
            <h2>How to Use</h2>
            <div>1. Select your primary Google Font from the dropdown.<br>2. The tool will automatically generate a CSS `font-family` stack with appropriate fallbacks based on the font's category (e.g., serif, sans-serif, monospace).<br>3. Copy the generated CSS and use it in your stylesheets.</div>
        </section>
        <section id="faqs" class="content-section">
            <h2>Frequently Asked Questions</h2>
            <pre>Q: Why are system font fallbacks important?
A: System font fallbacks ensure that your content remains readable and visually appealing even if your web fonts fail to load due to network issues, ad blockers, or other reasons. They provide a safety net for your typography.
Q: How does the tool determine fallbacks?
A: The tool uses a curated list of common system fonts for each major font category (serif, sans-serif, monospace, display, handwriting) to provide broad compatibility across Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS devices.</pre>
