Hi Lisa. As for the fonts to use on sites that most computers have, here they 
are:
verdana, arial, helvetica, geneva (Mac), sans serif
Don't use serif fonts (Times, etc. -- the fonts with feet and hands) on 
paragraphs of type. Only heads, subheads. Even navigation is not good with 
serif fonts.

Probably most people have Sand but that is a hard one to read unless it is 
just one-three words. Otherwise, use graphics.
