OT: Elegant Cross Platform Fonts

[Sannyasin Sivakatirswami]

Does someone have a short, fairly reliable, list of fonts that are 
likely to be found both on Mac and Windows machines? I suppose I could 
look at one of our windows machines here, but I am thinking someone of 
you has already been down this road and will already have a definitive 
list.

In particular I am looking for a cross-platform font that is a little 
prettier and more elegant that Arial, for use as a large display font 
where I am dynamically changing the text from a customProperty and 
don't want to make all those text displays as images in Photoshop ahead 
of time (too much work and too much data) In this context we don't have 
really tight size parameters we have to worry about as we will just 
give it plenty of room (unlike when making small buttons where the type 
size differences for the same font across platforms can be a headache.)

Thanks
