Complete Guide to Pre-Installed Fonts
It’s finally finished! I’ve been working on this article off and on for months. It took a lot of research (especially when I didn’t have access to a Mac, and now when I don’t really have access to Windows), and a lot of messing around with sample graphics to get the sizing right. This is a complete (to my knowledge) list of fonts installed with OSX, Ubuntu (as a sample Linux distro), and Windows as well as MS Office.
I hope this list will make it easier for web designers to use a wider variety of fonts in their designs. There are really quite a lot of fonts available as long as you’re okay with things looking a little different on diffrent operating systems.
Enjoy!

Fantastic piece of research. It’s something that’s been in the back of my mind to do for a while, but you’ve done a great job of it. Nice work. Thanks, Megan.
