This is off topic. Where in the CSS specs does it list popular fonts on 
various OS. Knowing what's available for CSS font-family is good 
information but can any further comments or links be added to the new 
section on this wiki page.

At first, I thought that too, but isn't knowing what's available for 
css font-family properties part of the practical application of css 
and thus on-topic?

No need for comment.

Thanks David for your useful resource.
Thinking about it, I agree with you when you say that it is a matter
of practical use of CSS.
Anyway I think that we discussed this subject perhaps too bit further...
Now we have all resources to make our choice concerning typefaces.
Thanks to all of the list.

Personally, I do believe this subject is most relevant to "the practical
use of CSS." Rather than a "design choice" it's a question of "what is
available?"

Accordingly I'll put a book in my britches and mention a resource that's
a bit more contemporary than those already listed:

tick-tock, wonder how long before this off-topic post is ended

This isn't really about the practical use of CSS, but more a design choice,
right?

Just a friendly reminder :-)

[css-d] Most popular fonts for browsers

[Cristian Palmas]

Hi All,

I'm creating a CSS layout for my personal website, divided into six
subdomains, that each has its own layout. In literature section I want
to use a banner with a particular typeface that reminds the act of
writing (Mistral, Lucida Sans and so on). Anyway, since I don't want
to create images to take place on the h2, h3, h4 tags, I was thinking
about a good font to use both for the banner and for the literature
subdomain titles.

Every browser can show the true type fonts installed on their machine:
if I don't have Comic Sans MS installed, my browser can't show it.
So I was looking for most popular fonts in order to choose one that
fits my visual layout intentions but which is commonly used by users.

Does anybody know about a list of commonly used fonts?
Thanks.
