While looking for information on how to get Verdana running on a Unix box (don’t ask), I instead ran across a couple good sites with tips for font selection that will look good on most out-of-the-box Unix distros. Safe web fonts is a decent no-nonsense list of which fonts are safest to use across different operating systems. Even more useful is Fonts for Unix, which gives a great CSS font-family rule that should cover attractive sans-serif font display on just about anything that can browse the Web.
