BIG headline here,

2-10 pt Picking typefaces and fonts – there is a difference, and I’ll get to it – to use on a web site is not as easy as it may seem. First of all, there are only nine typefaces that are happy on the web, all around the English speaking world, on Macintosh computers and on computers using Windows operating systems. Those fonts are Ariel, Ariel Black, Comic Sans MS, Courier New, Georgia, Impact, Times New Roman, Trebuchet MS, and Verdana.

A typeface is the whole shooting match. All the letters that look pretty much the same, except for how wide or bent or spaced out or squeezed together they are. Fonts are all those variations, so each face has, usually, lots of fonts. There’s Georgia and Georgian Bold and Georgia Italic and Georgia Bold Italic, and probably more.
