Web Safe Fonts

Unless you're a designer, the chances are that you'll be stuck with the default fonts that came pre-configured when you bought your PC or MAC or other operating system. So, if you're going to publish a website campaign then you'll want to make sure that it renders the same for as many people as possible - by using a web safe font or email safe font.

So what are the "web safe fonts" to use?

The MAC fonts are highlighted in orange
