List Of Safe Fonts

The reason that it is difficult to find a font reference or a complete guide to fonts on the web is that the names of fonts are different from mac to pc, the matter is further complicated because certain browsers have limited font support

Not all of the fonts listed here are considered 'safe', and any fonts used on a webpage which are not installed on a users computer will be rendered as the users default font, so it is always a good idea to have 'back up fonts' in your font tags.

The following 12 fonts are installed on both pc and mac and are considered as 'safe'

arial, arial black, comic sans ms, courier, courier new, georgia,
helvetica, impact, palatino, times new roman, trebuchet ms, verdana
