font-family

While trying to work out what font-family I would like to use on my web site I could not find anywhere that would show me what they might look like. Obviously, if a font doesn't exist it won't be shown correctly but here are some of the more common fonts. Even though I say they are more common, it isn't a comprehensive list of fonts inastalled on the average system, nor am I expecting you to have all the listed fonts below.
