Are there any valid arguments that support sticking to the same basic
screen fonts? Arial and times being the most common. You can go back to
every major OS release over the past decade and see that a great deal
of fonts are supported online.
I can see using the web safe font argument back in 1998 because there
were still people using very old OS's.
The same thing goes for web safe colors. This argument dates back to a
time when putting up a .jpg was a risk and the safe bet was a .gif.
Really, is there anyone's computer who can't load a font such as Impact
online or can't view .jpg images correctly?
Web safe in 2005 seems more like ridiculously safe.
