common fonts
I do have some fonts sitting on my desktop waiting to be added, but I saw this and thought I’d post it now The TopStyle Off Topic newsgroup had a post this afternoon with an expanded list of font family group options, potentially for adding to the drop down in TopStyle when you pick fonts.
Suggested Font Family Lists:
- "Courier New",Courier,monospace
- "Lucida Console",Courier,monospace
- Georgia,Times,serif
- "Bookman Old Style","New York",serif
- "Times New Roman",Times,serif
- "Century Gothic",Charcoal,sans-serif
- Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif
- Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif
- Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif
- "Trebuchet MS",Helvetica,sans-serif
- "Comic Sans MS",cursive
- "Monotype Corsiva",cursive
The poster collected the info from these sites: Browser News: Resources - Fonts and Windows font survey results (the later of the two, I believe I’ve posted before).

I learned alot bout assuming everyone has the same fonts when I started using Linux instead of just Windows.

17% of my site readers are not running a Windows OS so I can’t assume on standard Windows fonts.
