Default more web font stuff

yeah, there is a good point there that fonts have to be installed on the system to be seen. There are also a few issues between different versions on mac to PC, so its good to test your site and make sure the fonts are coming up.

When it comes to text though, you can use any font you like with images (.GIF is better for buttons and the like due to compression technique) but make sure you enter an alternative value - tends to tick a few of those accessibility option boxes.
I've found you can use many good sans serif fonts to create a character for the site and back them up with arial or verdana for the body text.

Don't forget these fonts were designed with screen readability in mind.
