Here's a list we developed at work; it shows all the fonts from some of the
more standard OS and WordProcessor installations. Baselines to work from in
deciding what fonts you dare use.
I've tweaked it a bit as the font names that are listed in the documentation
and those which the browsers recognize are not always the same. (Still have
some tweaking to do.) The list Sergent provides is really "bare-bones",
some additional fonts are always there.
PLEASE: If anyone has additional lists to add contact me and I'll try to
keep it complete as possible. MAC people particularly!
It is posted on my server at: http://www.wizvax.net/rmdesign/fonts_wp.htm
