How sure can you be that the font you specify will be present on the end user's machine? This is the latest cross-platform snapshot of the Code Style font survey and should give you greater confidence in selecting a font.
Subscribe to the news feed for these survey results: 
The table below is a periodically updated listing of font survey results for all platforms, the cumulative total of all valid font survey submissions since April 2005.
These figures are calculated per platform and do not show how common the fonts are on other systems. Think of it this way: More Mac systems have the Helvetica font than Windows systems have Trebuchet MS.
FAQ: Can't you show a total frequency for all platforms?
