We design and code websites to be compatible across the major browsers, operating systems and devices, from Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and yes, IE, across Windows, OS X, and Linux, from your old desktop to your latest mobile device.
To achieve compliance across many systems with different native fonts, we have to limit our font choices to "web safe fonts." By using safe, commonly available fonts, you can rest easy that users across all these platforms will see the website as intended.
To make sure all our bases are covered, developers indicate a font group (or stack), which will ask the browser to render a given selection of text in a certain font, and then check off down a list of similar fonts, if the first font is not found.
Take a moment to review the font stacks below and be in touch with us at info {at} social-ink.net with any questions.
