font-family-no-duplicate-names

Disallow duplicate font family names.

a { font-family: serif, serif; }/**              ↑      ↑ * These font family names */

This rule checks the font and font-family properties.

This rule ignores $sass, @less, and var(--custom-property) variable syntaxes.

Caveat: This rule will stumble on unquoted multi-word font names and unquoted font names containing escape sequences. Wrap these font names in quotation marks, and everything should be fine.
