Helvetica is the granddaddy here, but Arial is more common onmodern OS's.

Arial is near-copy of Helvetica, updated slightly. Windows usesArial in place of Helvetica.

Times is the grand-daddy of serif fonts, but Times New Roman ismore common on recent OS's.

Less-common sans-serif fonts

Verdana is popular, but still new to the scene. Tahoma's styleis half-way between Verdana and Arial. Comic Sans MS is oftenliked for its informal feel. Avante Garde is big and spacious.Impact and Arial Black are both designed for titles andheadings. All of the fonts in this section suffer from theproblem that most Unix machines don't have the fonts.

Verdana

ABCDE abcde 012345 &*!,.
From around 2000 until mid-2002, Microsoft distributed a set ofWeb-optimized fonts, for free use. They have stopped allowingdownloads, but still ship the fonts with Windows. Verdana is asans-serif replacement. Its lowercase letters are very large,compared to the overall size of the font, which makes text easyto read on the web.

Unfortunately, the stretching of Verdana lowercase letters hastwo drawbacks. One issue is that the stretched letters don'tlook quite right when printed—compare them to Arial, forexample. The other problem is that some people don't have theVerdana font, and these people may have trouble reading a webpage that uses Verdana. The problem is that while 9 ptVerdana is readable, 9 pt Arial is not readable, and aperson who doesn't have Verdana will probably have their webbrowser choose Arial as the substitute font.

Tahoma

ABCDE abcde 012345 &*!,.
Tahoma is another of Microsoft's web fonts. It is not as widelyavailable as Verdana or Arial are.

Arial Black

ABCDE abcde 012345 &*!,.
Arial Black is a version of Arial designed for headlines.

Comic Sans MS

Impact

Impact is a Microsoft Web font, designed for headlines.

Avant Garde

ABCDE abcde 012345 &*!,.
Avant Garde or Century Gothic. HP Printers call this AvantGarde Gothic.

Less-common serif fonts

Georgia is a web-optimized serif font, but is still a newcomer.Palatino is as old and established as Times is, butlooks terrible on recent Unixsystems. Century Schoolbook, Garamond, and Bookman seem to beavailable on Unix systems, but I am not sure how widespread theyare on Windows/Mac systems.

Georgia

ABCDE abcde 012345 &*!,.
Georgia is a Microsoft Web font. It has serifs but also haslarge lowercase letters, similar to Verdana. It is a nicelyreadable screen font, but has the same problems that Verdanadoes: it looks bad when printed, and paged designed for Georgiawill look bad if rendered in Times, because of the difference inletter size.

Palatino

ABCDE abcde 012345 &*!,.
Palatino is a less-commonly used serif font. It is available onMacintosh and Unix computers, and is a core PostScript font. Itis available on Windows computers under alternate font names.

Palatino was originally designed as a display font—forexample, to be used in lettering on signs. Nevertheless, itis commonly used to set body text.

Introduction

Here you can find the list with the standard set of fonts common to all versions of Windows and their Mac substitutes, referred sometimes as 'browser safe fonts'. This is the reference I use when making web pages and I expect you will find it useful too.

If you are new to web design, maybe you are thinking: 'Why I have to limit to that small set of fonts? I have a large collection of nice fonts in my computer'. Well, as seasoned web designers already know, browsers can use only the fonts installed in each computer, so it means that every visitor of your web page needs to have all the fonts you want to use installed in his/her computer. Of course, different people will have different fonts installed, and thus come the need of a standard set of fonts. Fortunately, CSS allows set several values for the font-family property, which eases the task a bit.

If you want to know how the fonts are displayed in other OS's or browsers than yours, after the table you can find several screen shots of this page in different systems and browsers. Also, you can take a look to the list of the default fonts included with each version of Windows.

The list

First, a few introductory notes:

  • The names in grey are the generic family of each font.
  • In some cases the Mac equivalent is the same font, since Mac OS X also includes some of the fonts shipped with Windows.
  • The notes at the bottom contains specific information about some of the fonts.

1 Georgia and Trebuchet MS are bundled with Windows 2000/XP and they are also included in the IE font pack (and bundled with other MS applications), so they are quite common in Windows 98 systems.

2 Symbolic fonts are only displayed in Internet Explorer, in other browsers a font substitute is used instead (although the Symbol font does work in Opera and the Webdings works in Safari).

3 Book Antiqua is almost exactly the same font that Palatino Linotype, Palatino Linotype is included in Windows 2000/XP while Book Antiqua was bundled with Windows 98.

4 These fonts are not TrueType fonts but bitmap fonts, so they won't look well when using some font sizes (they are designed for 8, 10, 12, 14, 18 and 24 point sizes at 96 DPI).

5 These fonts work in Safari but only when using the normal font style, and not with bold or italic styles. Comic Sans MS works in bold but not in italic. Other Mac browsers seems to emulate properly the styles not provided by the font (thanks to Christian Fecteau for the tip).

6 These fonts are present in Mac OS X only if Classic is installed (thanks to Julian Gonggrijp for the corrections).

How the fonts look in different systems and browsers

  • Mac OS X 10.4.4, Firefox 1.5, font smoothing enabled (thanks to Eric Zavesky for the screen shot)
  • Mac OS X 10.4.11, Safari 3.0.4, font smoothing enabled (thanks to Nolan Gladius for the screen shot)

  • Windows Vista, Firefox 2.0, ClearType enabled (thanks to Michiel Bijl for the screen shot)
  • Linux (Ubuntu 7.04 + Gnome), Firefox 2.0 (thanks to Juris Vecvanags for the screen shot)

Note that while the ClearType smoothing is applied always, the basic font smoothing of Windows 98/2000/XP is applied only to certain font sizes. That sizes can be specified by the font designer, but usually they are in the ranges of 0-6 and 14+ points (pt).


The Mac font list was obtained from the Browser Safe Fonts PDF of webbedEnvironments and from the List of fonts in Mac OS X of the Wikipedia.
