No offense, but I think you missed the point, which is: you, as developer, don't know what fonts users may or may not have installed. Therefore, you should opt for generic family names like font-family: fantasy; This then puts the onus on the browser to choose a fantasy font from the ones available on the specific system. See http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/fonts.html#value-def-generic-family (to the admins: sorry, I know this thread was officially closed...but I do think this particular line of thought pertains to the standards discussion, as it revolves around fundamental issues of CSS; if it's not ok to carry on with the thread, fine...consider me admonished for the second time) -- Patrick H.

It's not about browsers not supporting a font...it's the fonts themselves which need to be installed on the user's machine to be viewable. -- Patrick H.
