Here is the list of fonts I searched to use for making my websites. These fonts can be running safely to show in every machine using both OS X and Windows.

Making your website with these fonts can make every machine to show your website properly with the font you use.

Be Noted: These fonts are the default fonts installed with pure (and can be used with) Windows XP and OS X 10.5, or newer. The fonts bundled with other applications such as MS Office aren't included.

Arial Black
Arial
Comic Sans MS
Courier New
Georgia
Impact
Microsoft Sans Serif
Symbol
Tahoma
Times New Roman
Trebuchet MS
Verdana
Webdings
Wingdings

    There are more than that and also ways to render fonts for the user regardless of what they are using such as cufon, etc.

    In this case I use only the fonts that come identically by default with all OS, and I don't include the fonts from other added applications. For example the font "Palatino Linotype" which come by default since windows 2000. But in Mac, Palatino used to be default once (MacOS 9 and older), but in OS X it disappears and comes bundled with some application like iLife. Palatino may look normal to someone but not for someone. In this case I don't include it.

    Yes, I know there are ways to render the fonts which don't have in the clients machine. But this is not the point of my post I just want to tell that there are fonts to use with almost machine with effortless.

    However, actually, I can't guarantee these are all fonts. I searched this once in a time for my use, I might miss something some font that I didn't put in this list. If you know any font I missed, please tell it, for the sake of this topic.

    Thank you
