I have been looking for a list of fonts that are installed on most computers. I know the basic ones... Arial, Times New Roman, Tahoma, Verdana, etc... but where can I find a list of the fonts?
I am wondering because I want to be able to use a cool font on a web site I am creating, and for people to view the font, they must have the font installed.
Thanks,
- Jeff
Try this site Jeff.

One great thing about CSS is that you can put a font to display if the user doesn't have the first choice font installed. For example, you would put:
font-face: sans-serif, arial;
So then if the person doesn't have sans-serif, it will display arial. (Or at least that's how I understand it. Fatkid, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. ;) )
Just something else to consiter, so even if they don't have the font, it can still look good.
Here (http://www.msfrontpage.net/fp/ans-standardfonts.htm) is a list of very basic fonts that people will almost for sure have. Like I said above, one of these would be a good choice to put as a second of third choice if they don't have the font you want installed.
Thanks for the responses guys.
Yea Pcheats, that's how it goes with CSS and I always usually pick 2 or 3.
I will take a look at these in a bit. ;D
Right now I am off to PM PogoPal about a name for the Freecell auto.
Awwwww c'mon share. :P
Freeloadin' Fanatic
Sounds good to me. I was thinking Frecell Freebie :P
Hehe, yeah I have a few others but I think Freeloadin' Fanatic is the best I have though up so far. I like the freebie one. ;D.
And btw, the link you posted was exactly what I was after. Thanks.
No problem. Your welcome. Glad to help. :D
Well, it looks like I will use Comic Sans MS, Arial, and Verdana for the site I am creating. ;D
good 1 jeff
