# Web Safe Sans Serif Fonts
# Font Family Safe Fallback
# Arial Helvetica, sans-serif
# Helvetica Arial, sans-serif
# Verdana Geneva, sans-serif
# Geneva Verdana, sans-serif
# Tahoma Arial, sans-serif
# Trebuchet MS Arial, sans-serif
# Arial is considered the safest sans-serif font on the web. It is installed on all Windows machines (99.8%) and all Mac machines (98.7%).

Helvetica is the preferred fallback because the two fonts are almost identical. Helvetica runs on all Mac machines (100%) but on fewer Windows machines (7.3%).

Using Arial with Helvetica fallback, or Helvetiva with Arial fallback, covers both worlds.

Verdana is also considered to be a web safe sans-serif font. It runs on all Windows machines (99.8%), and all Mac Machines (99.1%).

Geneva is Verdanas preferred fallback, because the two fonts are quite similar, and Geneva runs on all Mac machines (99.6%).

Tahoma was the standard font in Windows 95. It works on 99.9% of all Windows machines, and 91.7% of all Mac machines.

Trebuchet MS has been released with all Windows operating systems (99.7%) since Microsoft Windows 2000. It is also included on Macs machines (97.1%), iOS and Chrome OS.
