Everyone wants to make his/her website attractive. For making attractive website the font style also matters that which font you are using on your website. You want to use new fonts on your website but there is a problem with that every font is not supported by all browsers. Only some fonts are there which are supported by all browser and the list of fonts are given below which are supported by all the browsers.
Browser uses the fonts that are installed on your machine. So if a visitor of your site wants to see your site as you made he or she has to install all the fonts which you have use in your site. But css also provide a solution to this problem with font face property. Which is not a difficult task. But if you don’t want to use that property I advise you to use standard fonts that are available on all machines. Because that will not spoil your site.
In the following list each font is written in three colors. Because name of window fonts are different from Mac fonts name. So we are showing each font name in three colors one is for generic font name second one is for window font name and third one is for Mac font name.
