So I'm building my css font stacks...

[Soen Eber]

I've been working with CSS Font Stack: Web Safe and Web Font Family with HTML and CSS code. and a few other sources to get a listing of the most common web-safe fonts for my font stack families; this is what I have so far and would welcome any suggestions. Not looking for anything "new", more just what is on everyone's machine (except for Consolus just because I think it displays better than the standard monospace fonts [aging eyes]). Also, hoping I got the syntax and especially spelling right:

serif
font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, Garamond, "Bookman Old Style", serif;

sans-serif
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif;

monospace
font-family: "Courier New", Courier, "Lucida Sans Typewriter", Consolas, monospace;

fantasy
font-family: Papyrus, Copperplate, fantasy;

script
font-family: "Brush Script MT", "URW Chancery L", script;

EDITED: Made Erich's recommendations

In the serif set I'd put Georgia first -- it's on a lot of machines and looks nicer than Times New Roman.

You might want to lose Verdana from the sans-serif set, because it is noticeably larger than the other fonts, which can throw things off (or just look a bit odd).

Why "Lucida Sans Typewriter" and not Lucidia Console?

Why "Lucida Sans Typewriter" and not Lucidia Console?

Lucidia Console has 0% representation on current mac machines, according to the website in the OP. Lucidia Sans Typewriter has like a 74% representation in Windows and over 90% on macs and is slightly more readable due to line spacing. But then again, there's also a strong case for putting a 100% windows font first and a 100% mac font second and a 100% linux font third and "compromise" fonts last -- I'm nowhere being a font or css expert so what I'm doing is one step above guesswork. Corrections and clarifications are eagerly accepted.
