Does someone have a short, fairly reliable, list of fonts that are likely to be found both on Mac and Windows machines? I suppose I could look at one of our windows machines here, but I am thinking someone of you has already been down this road and will already have a definitive list.
I used to set textfonts to Geneva on Mac and MS Sans Serif (up to 17) and Arial (for higher) on Windows. Then to my dismay I discovered that on Windows XP the font MS Sans Serif has disappeared, or perhaps just changed name to Microsoft Sans Serif. This meant that I have to change the script lines of hundreds of programs (sigh!). I have now started using only VERDANA which is a distinct and nice font and has been found on both platforms for some years now. The textsize and textheight varies just a little from one platform to another. At least it's worth a try!Verdana is a good tip. Its defined from M$ as a special monitor fonts for Apps, webdesign etc...
I combine it with Adobes Myriad for bigger sizes.
On the Adobe page you can also find fonts for apps, webdesign (Myriad is one of them).
imho important is: dont use Arial. This brings your apps this kind of ugly "old fashioned Microsoft Word Layout"- design. Brrrrr..!
What I dont know is: what happens with these fonts on Linux - They are substituted automatically by Helvetica, or..?
