Web safe fonts are those fonts that are most likely to appear correct no matter the platform (Windows, Mac, Linux) or browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Opera, Chrome, etc.).

The following table lists fonts that match this description:

Generic	Font
serif	Times New Roman
	Georgia

sans-serif	Andale Mono
	Arial
	Arial Black
	Century Gothic
	Impact
	Trebuchet MS
	Verdana

cursive	Comic Sans MS

monospace	Courier New

Many situations require the explicit use of fonts that are not, in fact, web safe. Examples of such scenarios would be where an organization uses a specific font in their logo or slogon. The recommended approach here is to use an image instead. Design these sections in your preferred graphic design package and cut them out as blocks for use in the website.
