I am often asked, “What fonts can I use on my website?”
The answer isn’t always very easy. It depends. Web sites are rendered by using fonts that are installed on the visitor’s computer. While font selection in artwork can be anything, selectable text on the web page is limited to which font family you use. Here is a link to a great site that estimates the installation based on the most commonly used fonts.
When choosing a font for your new website, you are best to pick a couple different fonts. One as the primary and a couple of the most commonly used as backups. When programming your website, we can tell the visitor’s web browser, we prefer to use font A, but if you don’t have font A, then go a head and use font B or C.
