A word of warning. Not all of these are standard with a default Mac OS X installation. I think some come with Microsoft Office.

Here are the shared fonts between Mac OS X and Windows XP:
This does not mean that the result is exactly the same but these following fonts "are among the lines of the fontNames" for each platform.

Arial (normal, black, narrow)
Century Gothic
Comic sans MS
Courier New
Georgia
Impact
Tahoma
Times New Roman
Verdana
Webdings
Wingdings

Out of Eric's list, the three listed below are NOT available on my Mac:
Century Gothic
Tahoma
Wingdings

Also, a Mac user (& presumably it is the same for Windows) has the ability to disable any fonts they like, even fonts used by the system. So you can never assume a particular font will be available.

It would be nice to be able to specify a font-family as one does in CSS, so you can choose a few alternatives and default to serif or sans-serif as a last resort.

Cheers,
Sarah
