Fonts for the Web

Until font downloading technology is perfected, Web designers must normally restrict themselves to fonts that are available on most users’ computer systems.

So which fonts are installed on everyone’s computers? Your best bets are the ones that come with the Internet Explorer (MSIE) browser and the Windows and Macintosh operating systems. For the last few years, the MSIE fonts have been installed on every new Windows and Macintosh PC, so they are your best “cross-platform” bet.

It's fairly new, but a interesting way to make display type.

Too bad it won't work for body text. Not that I would use anything else than what we already have for body copy.
