Which fonts can I use? What if I want to use others?
One problem for web page designers is that in many parts of the world people don't have a PC or Mac at home. They use college or university workstations, and these are usually using the Unix operating system instead of Windows. If they do have a home PC, they use the free Linux operating system and software. Both show Verdana and Arial very badly.
So if you want as many visitors as possible to view your pages as you intended them to, you should choose fonts that are installed on most computers, and offer a range of fonts, like this:
In this example, Arial and Helvetica are two common sans-serif fonts - browsers will look on the visitors system for your first choice (Arial), then the second (Helvetica). If they can't find those two, they'll look for any font that's the right type (sans-serif).
