As a web designer sometimes I feel imprisoned by "web safe" fonts. I can only take so much of Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, Times, and Georgia. I'm all for being safe, but occasionally you have to break the mold and live a little. That's why I've included this list of "sorta web safe" fonts. Go ahead, try them out. You can always set up your CSS to fall back on one of the trusty 5.
1. Arial Black, Arial Narrow
2. Baskerville
3. Copperplate, Copperplate Gothic Light
4. Gill Sans, Gill Sans MT
5. Century Gothic
6. IMPACT (It's like a punch in the face... Not my favorite.)
7. Palatino Linotype, Palatino
8. Tahoma
