I would love to see a similar list for non-Latin scripts. I'm particularly interested to know what a 'safe-stack' is for CJK characters. Anyone out there know?

#12Thanks to cross-browser webfont support, it's been quite some time since I've read the words "web safe fonts". I wonder how useful these lists would be in a year or two. It's already nearly useless on a vanilla Ubuntu install, for example, which contains neither Windows fonts nor Mac fonts.
It would be a fine day indeed when web designers no longer have to worry about fallback fonts that look nothing like the preferred font.
Re: CSS Font Stack: A complete collection of web safe CSS font stacks
#13I get confused with font stacks that have sequences like:
Calibri, Candara, Segoe, "Segoe UI", etc. etc.
Are there systems that do not have Calibri but do have Candara or Segoe UI? (Excluding, of course, cases where some of these fonts have been installed manually and individually.) I would suppose not. If so, then what’s the point of specifying Candara, Segoe, and Segoe UI after Calibri?
Am I missing something?

#14Handy resource - thank you.
Would be great to see Linux included as well, but I wonder if that's too difficult because of the number of distros.

#15Socialnetwork widget gets in the way of it working on iPad
It gets in the way as soon as the browser window is less than 1287px in width. Did I mess up my measurement or is this really 1287px? My browser is rarely that wide.

#16A sample text of each font in a stack would be nice in order to judge if the fallback makes sense.

I got so fed up with browsers and their font issues. That I just use one now, that I can read easily at a good size. I override the author's choice everytime.

#20The social button widget blocks me from reading any of the last 10 fonts on the lower left side of the page when browsing from a tablet.
