how about not setting the font at all?? (or just specifying serif or
sans-serif in your stylesheet?)

These are usually set with sensible defaults (or, in my case, with my
preferred fonts and sizes) and are guaranteed to work on _any_ platform.

The web is different from print and it is often better to abandon the
attempt at total control over appearance which one has in print design.
