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.

3- 12 pt This section of this web page is set up so you can see a variety of the normal font of each of the nine typefaces, in two different sizes worth considering for a web page’s body copy, along with an example or two of the same face in a larger size that would be suitable for headlines.
                Notice the paragraph spacing, too. Above we’ve left a line between paragraphs, and here we’ve indented the paragraph. Designers need to give readers a bit of a break, and writers need to give readers a little gap during which the readers can adjust to reading another thought. But if we leave a whole space, we can run out of room on a web page pretty easily.
