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 ?

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.
