Surely "Andale Mono" should fallback to "Consolas", "Lucida Console" on Windows instead of "monospace" ("Courier New").<p>Nice resource though, even if 'web-safe' isn't the strait-jacket it used to be. :)
Thanks to cross-browser webfont support, it's been quite some time since I've read the words "web safe fonts". I wonder how useful these lists would be in a year or two. It's already nearly useless on a vanilla Ubuntu install, for example, which contains neither Windows fonts nor Mac fonts.<p>It would be a fine day indeed when web designers no longer have to worry about fallback fonts that look nothing like the preferred font.
"Fantasy"? That's absurd. Copperplate is a letterpress type. Papyrus, meanwhile, is a joke, but it's meant to look like bush strokes; it's hardly fantastic.<p>I would like to see the information about the support visible, rather than hidden under a mouseover. Maybe 2 thin horizontal bars where length = %, 1 for Mac, 1 for PC?
I get confused with font stacks that have sequences like:<p>Calibri, Candara, Segoe, "Segoe UI", etc. etc.<p>Are there systems that do not have Calibri but do have Candara or Segoe UI? (Excluding, of course, cases where some of these fonts have been installed manually and individually.) I would suppose not. If so, then what’s the point of specifying Candara, Segoe, and Segoe UI after Calibri?<p>Am I missing something?
I would love to see a similar list for non-Latin scripts. I'm particularly interested to know what a 'safe-stack' is for CJK characters. Anyone out there know?
