2008/4/9, David Hucklesby [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Personally, I do believe this subject is most relevant to the practical use of CSS. Rather than a design choice it's a question of what is available? Accordingly I'll put a book in my britches and mention a resource that's a bit more contemporary than those already listed: http://www.apaddedcell.com/web-fonts Cordially, David Thanks David for your useful resource. Thinking about it, I agree with you when you say that it is a matter of practical use of CSS. Anyway I think that we discussed this subject perhaps too bit further... Now we have all resources to make our choice concerning typefaces.

[css-d] Most popular fonts for browsers
Hi All, I'm creating a CSS layout for my personal website, divided into six subdomains, that each has its own layout. In literature section I want to use a banner with a particular typeface that reminds the act of writing (Mistral, Lucida Sans and so on). Anyway, since I don't want to create images to take place on the h2, h3, h4 tags, I was thinking about a good font to use both for the banner and for the literature subdomain titles. Every browser can show the true type fonts installed on their machine: if I don't have Comic Sans MS installed, my browser can't show it.
