If you ask someone to list web safe fonts you’ll probably get: Times New Roman, Arial, Georgia, Verdana, Trebuchet MS. We choose the fonts that are most likely to be installed on the user’s computer.

New computers (both mac and windows) have more fonts installed that we can use these days. What about Arial narrow, Arial Black, Impact, Palatino? These fonts are available on 80% - 100% of your visitor’s computers.

I’ve colected some articles about this subject. I hope to see some less common fonts on your website soon!
