  <p>Recently while checking apple's website's styling, I came across this CSS rule declaration which I could not understand:</p>
  
  <pre><code>body {
     font: 12px/18px "Lucida Grande","Lucida Sans Unicode",Helvetica,Arial,Verdana,sans-serif;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I could not understand, and thus wanted to know that how does the forward slash in <code>font: 12px/18px</code> actually work?</p>
