MysticNight -> Web-safe fonts (4/9/2001 22:55:00)

What are some fonts that are considered "web-safe"?

My "vote" goes for "Arial, Verdana, Helvetica"

Times New Roman is also considered 'safe' but serif fonts such as this are less easy on the eye for those reading text from a screen.

This is a useful link: http://www.builder.com/Graphics/Type/ss01c.html

I notice that this and other sources mention Palatino as being safe - I don't have it, to the best of my knowledge I never did.
