macs can run windows fonts as well. There may be conflicts though if
you run the same font from both os's simultaneously though.
but loading fonts can be a resource burden as they all load into RAM
at startup. I recommend the excellent and free Linotype http://www.linotype.com/fontexplorerX
Font ExplorerX to open and close fonts as required.
Like iTunes for fonts.
Also available for windows users.

As a general rule you cannot use non-system fonts on the web, as
the end user needs to
have them installed as well (I think this is what you're asking?).
One workaround is to
use sIFR ( http://www.mikeindustries.com/blog/sifr/ ). Also, here
is a list of fonts
that are generally considered to be web safe:

Umm. Most of the fonts Marvin lists are available on most computers.
I think he is saying that he does not have them on *his* computer, so
wants to download them so he can see how each affects his design.
I am on Mac, and would like to install some Windows-only fonts
for myself. Anyone?
Cordially,
David
