Web Page Design for Designers latest issue presents a nice article titled All you wanted to know about Web type but were afraid to ask. The article has details regarding what fonts to use on what platforms and safe ways of specifying those fonts in your CSS. Anyone who aspires to become a graphic designer absolutely needs to be clearer on type and fonts, and the ways in which they are represented on the web.
