Actually, and for Mac OS X, XP and Vista, prefer to choose among  
these fonts:

Arial
Arial Black
Comic Sans MS
Copperplate
Copperplate Gothic Bold
Copperplate Gothic Light
Courier
Edwardian Script ITC
Georgia
Symbol
Tahoma
Verdana
Webdings
Wingdings

Practically best ones seem to be Arial, Georgia, Tahoma and Verdana.
But be aware that these fonts, if they exist with the same name on  
all these platforms are not exactly the same:
Exact scale may vary a bit.

Best regards from Paris,
Eric Chatonet.
