is there a list of fonts that are compatible with css? its seems like the fonts that i want to use (like lithospro or tribeca) , doesn’t work with css. or does it have to do with user’s systems, and if it does, is there a standard list of fonts that are compatible with most systems?

@NogDogMay 12.2005 — It has to do with whether or not the font exists on the user's system, it's not CSS-related. There are some fonts that are pretty widely available, but just in case, you should always add a CSS generic name to your font list. In this example, I'm saying, "Use Arial, if you have it, otherwise use Helvetica. If you don't have either of those, then use your browser's generic sans-serif font.":
[code=html]
font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
[/code]

@AdamGundryMay 12.2005 — The [url=http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fonts/]Microsoft Typography[/url] site has some information on common fonts, and you can see a list of the generic font families in the [url=http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/fonts.html#generic-font-families]CSS specification[/url].
