Cross platform fonts

Not all fonts are recognized or supported by all operating systems. The following fonts are good for Windows, Mac, and Linux/UNIX.

  • Andale Mono
  • Arial
  • Arial Black
  • Comic Sans MS
  • Courier New
  • Georgia
  • Impact
  • Times New Roman
  • Trebuchet MS
  • Verdana

If you incorporate any of these fonts into the CSS style sheet of your website, it will have the same look across all platforms. Windows, Mac OS, UNIX, and fake UNIX (Linux). At least it will look more similar then if you called for a font only used by one platform.
