web safe fonts

Browsers can use only the fonts installed on that particular computer. This means that every website visitor needs to have the fonts you have used installed on his/her computer. Of course, different people will have different fonts installed, and thus resulting in the need for a standard set of fonts. These are fonts that are installed on MOST computers, so you are safe to use them on your website.
