    Ah, but no font is guarenteed to be on any particular user's machine, so use what you want, and make sure that at least one of the "universal" fonts is in your list.

    Like, I often add Baskerville to my list of serif fonts. I doubt many people have it, and I sure don't, but it's followed by Times New Roman anyway, so no biggie. I list Helvetica usually before Arial becuase it's a slightly nicer font in my opinion, and it IS a standard font for the Mac (or, it was), so you're perfectly okay to do this:

    verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;

    I stick verdana in front because with that one, you can tell the difference between I and l. Like I can't do right now with this DP font... cuz I has no fontz! None fonts, just Unix fonts (and this is good for testing, I keep my fonts on the Windows machine).
