Top 10 Web Safe Blogging Fonts

The definition of Web Safe fonts means that they are generic fonts that display consistently across all web browsers and are available on all of the most popular operating systems (Windows, Linux, and Mac).

So if you design web pages using any of the popular operating systems, web-safe fonts will display consistently across them all.

So we have to play it safe. We have a small range of fonts to use, so we have to be creative with what we have. Below is a list of the most commonly used fonts for Web Design.
