Cross platform fonts question

I'm wrapping up a project (finally) and have done my best to use
graphics for all displays but there are a couple of fields and buttons
that need X-platform fonts. I know very little about Windows so
forgive my ignorance.
First, is there a tutorial site I can be pointed to that deals with
X-platform font implementation in any sort of comprehensive way?
Is Comic Sans MS a common windows font? It seems ubiquitous in print,
but I know next to nothing about Windows. Can I assume that Verdana 10
will display as a Verdana 10 in pop-up buttons on the Windows side of
things? How about Helvetica? Are 10 pt and 12pt sizes a safe bet, or
do they display larger on Windows machines?
TIA,
Mark
