List of web-safe fonts

Fonts truly universal, cross-browsers and cross-systems, very few.
I refer to those fonts (character sets) that appear in the same way by all popular operating systems and computers in the world (PC, Mac, Unix-Linux, Amiga-if there are still people who use it to navigate, Symbian handhelds or Windows Mobile, etc ...)

In fact, that a font is displayed properly, not enough to define it in html or css. The font must be installed in computers of those who viewed the Web page. In fact, if not found, the system automatically replaces it with a standard type Arial or Times New Roman.

That's why the fonts 'web safe' are very few, the prerequisite is that they are pre-installed in all (or most) operating systems in the world. But some are protected by copyright, so can not be used by other companies (see Microsoft's Times New Roman).

Here are the lists of web-safe fonts with variants for compatibility on all systems, ready to be pasted inside css styles.
