This list is by no means exhaustive, so I appreciate you commenting. Wallace, Glad to know you've found content of interest here. The topic of web-safe fonts is a good one, and deserves a post of its own. I'll keep that in mind. Cheers. Julio,

Wallace,

Glad to know you’ve found content of interest here. The topic of web-safe fonts is a good one, and deserves a post of its own. I’ll keep that in mind. Cheers.

Very interesting, as I have spent 36 years in the graphic arts business, and am now experimenting with creating websites. Concerning your must-have font collection, I, too, wonder about New Times Roman and Arial. My advice from other sources is to not go too astray from standard fonts when creating web sites, as viewers may not be able to see the font, and it could get replaced with something else. Just how "unsafe" are "unsafe" web fonts? David, you're the man! Since I came across your site a couple of days ago, I’ve been glued to it.

For Supriya, check out Robert Bringhurst’s "Elements of Typographic Style", Meggs, Carter and Day's "Typographic Design: Form and Communication", Ruari McLean's "Typographers on Type: An Illustrated Anthology from William Morris to the Present Day" and "How Typography Happens".
