Browser/OS support fonts
Question by waanders
Where can I find a list of browser safe fonts? I mean fonts I can use in my webpages which will be displayed correctly in different browsers and versions both with Windows and Mac.
UPDATE:
Yes, I know how to search with Google. I just thought someone at this forum could give me a link to a matrix with font/browser/browserversion/os support of fonts. Like http://www.quirksmode.org/compatibility.html for CSS support.
I found something that comes close to what I meant:

These is just one good link from a quick google search for “safe web font”.
You can learn quite a lot from the wikipedia entry for Web Typography.

Go for most common fonts between all domains. I would suggest Verdana, it is probably one of the widely used font, which is supported by almost all OS.
Or go from one of the following list
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-family: 'Arial Black', Gadget, sans-serif;
font-family: 'Bookman Old Style', serif;
font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;
font-family: Courier, monospace;
font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-family: Garamond, serif;
font-family: Georgia, serif;
font-family: Impact, Charcoal, sans-serif;
font-family: 'Lucida Console', Monaco, monospace;
font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;
font-family: 'MS Sans Serif', Geneva, sans-serif;
font-family: 'MS Serif', 'New York', sans-serif;
font-family: 'Palatino Linotype', 'Book Antiqua', Palatino, serif;
