In my opinion, there are only a few fonts that you can guarantee EVERYONE
will have (note I've listed corresponding PC/Mac names):

PC			Mac			Style
-------------------------------------------
Arial			Helvetica		sans-serif
Times New Roman	Times			serif
Courier New		Courier		fixed

If you code your style sheet properly, you can also grab for a few more
fonts:

Verdana
Georgia
Comic Sans
and others

Of course, coded correctly, a style sheet can specify whatever you want. But
that doesn't necessarily equate to whatever the user has. That's why you
should always specify a default font just in case:

font-family : Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;

or 

font-family : Georgia,"Times New Roman",Times,serif;

This is a rather simple question for this group but I was wondering after
reading a pryor post on fonts. I have one font that I tend to use quite
often it is Monotype Corsiva. I believe it to be a fairly regular font but
was wondering if most everyone has it or if I should stick to somthing like
Georgia.
