Default Windows Fonts

You've just finished a killer page setup for your website. You're sitting back, feeling pretty damn smug with yourself, being all super creative and original and whatever. You cruise on down to TAFE to show everyone your awesomeness transferred to the web. You type in the address, and wait for jaws to hit the floor.

Wait a minute... WHAT THE HELL?

All those fancy fonts you put in there didn't show up. All that effort wasted, all your hopes - dashed to the winds. Your humiliation is intense, and you go home and cry into your pillow like a baby. If only you had checked to see if those fonts were web safe...

Well fear not wannabes, I'm here to help. Right here on Microsoft's own website should be all the information you need on Microsoft typefaces. If you don't really feel like wading through all those different web pages, here is a list of standard fonts on various Windows platforms.

I didn't bother check for fonts on other operating systems, but if you own a Mac it's really your own fault.
