Safe Web Fonts

I have looked into web typography and certain typography that can only be read in web browsers. The reason for this is because not every computer or Mac/ the browsers they use, supports the same fonts. Certain websites list and issue all of the web compatible fonts, these sites are the following:

@fontface

and

Google Web Fonts.

I decided to look on both google web fonts and  @fontface to see what sort of fonts they store and issue.

These sites allow the consumer to see the typography on a website with out having the font itself installed on to there machine/ server. The font is being projected or referenced via the CSS.




As you can see there site is really helpful explaining what they do, how you use it and the outcome, which happens to be FREE.

I done the same for Google Web Fonts:


As you can see, Google Web Fonts explain what exactly they do as i mentioned earlier. 

Below is a list of web safe fonts:
