Top 10 (Web Safe) Blogging Fonts

It is so challenging to find the correct font to match the theme of your site. Steve Jobs of Apple.com took calligraphy in college which helped him design the first Mac. You really need an eye for design and it makes all the difference in the world.

Great List!

It will help many Web Designers that already have questions about wich fonts can they use on their works…

I like the CSS rule for each font too.

Thanx!

I never knew some of these fonts were as old or as new as they are.

I’ve found that it is important to take a look at the display of your site with each of the fonts. For instance, if you use this rule:Font-Family: “Trebuchet MS”, Helvetica, sans-serif; test it with the Helvetica alone. That way if for some reason the user doesn’t have “Trebuchet” there won’t be any surprises on what your lay out looks like. Heck, I’ve even tested with “serif”.

To be fair, I think the point of the article is to suggest CSS rules which are web-safe, rather than fonts per se.

Each one has a Mac font similar to the Windows one (e.g. Geneva for Tahoma).

Not rocket science, but a handy list.

Thanks this is just what I was looking for.

Thanks for the download link for the fonts =)

I like “Lucida Sans Unicode” and Georgia. It is comfortable and eyes friendly, suitable for body post.

can we have more?

Sweeeet list

Super-Duper site! I am loving it!! Will come back again – taking you feeds also, Thanks.

I would love to find free Futura Bold font. Love it. ;-) Care to pm me? Thks.

nice list. though Helvetica font is missing

wow
so easy, so simple, so helpful

thanks

interesante gracias…

I currently use Times New Roman but I also like Georgia. How about the font size? Blogger only gives you options for smallest, small, normal, large, largest.

Nice stuff. Thanks for sharing. :)

Great list. I usually work with arial and verenda but some of these fonts look more fetching.

Verdana rocks!

I don’t think you should represent ‘web-safe’ fonts with images. A lot of fonts look good this way, but you wouldn’t rely on the browser to render them.
