some questions

1. what are the best fonts to use asthetically and practically?
2. while installing new fonts...how can i differentiate btwn installed fonts and windows default fonts?(i dont want to use something that fails in a page load)...what i mean is in a few years when i forget which ones i installed
3. is there a way to use fonts that arent default on everyone elses computer?

pretty much if the answer to #3 is yes then 1 & 2 dont need an answer

i will have a preliminary test site up in a few days..unless my looters luck kicks in again..probably...i ll post when im up

#1 - id stick with the default font family

code:
font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;

code:
font-family: <ideal>, <alternative>, <common>, <generic>;

Times and Impact are also default fonts, and those are two of my favorites.
