    Good fonts for web sites?

    Beyond some of the fonts we always see what are some other ones that the majority of web users can see ?

      I personally like Tahoma for some reason. It shows up clean in various sizes.

            Yes I was using papyrus for a while then i started hearing that some could not see it. But I like that font a lot. It is strange to think with how far the web has grown but, that we only use 3 fonts ...

                  well it really comes down to readability and compatibility. i know that no matter who sees my site, if it's in one of those three fonts it will look clean, and they will always display correctly.

                        I agree but I wish there were more choices ...

                              Tahoma is the shit!
                              Also MS Comic Sans goes well, with amateur and teen sites
