Common to all machine Fonts?

Is there a list of Fonts that most web designers always use because they know that all browsers support them?

Anyone have a list? I know that basically anything that comes standard on a Win98 build would probably be standard, but I dunno how that works on Linux or browsers other than IE.

Thanks!
 
you can embed fonts into a webpage.

the fonts that dreamweaver shows are basically the machine independent fonts.
 
Verdana and Georgia are two fonts created specifically for electronic media. All Windows based computers will have these two fonts and I'm almost 100% positive so will unix-based machines.

I am wanting to change the fonts to a few of my pages, but I don't understand the whole Font Family structure and what fonts are included in all browsers and so fourth. Some of the fonts I try work fine, some do not... it is hit or miss.

Here is the line I am changing:
<font size="5" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">

If I change it to "Small Fonts", it works fine (<font size="5" face="Small Fonts">)....... but if I change it to Caflisch Script or Cursiva with the "cursive" font family (<font size="5" face="Corsiva, cursive">, it doesn't work.
