The only truly "web safe" fonts are serif, sans-serif, cursive, fantasy
and monospace.
I notice that you list MS fonts almost exclusively, the exceptions being
courier, times and helvetica. Why not throw in Tahoma?
What is the difference between "Comic Sans" and "Comic Sans Serif"?
If you want to include Macs and unix: Geneva, Lucida Grande, Lucida
Sans, Lucida, Vera Sans.
One of my personal favorites is Tekton.
