> There really should be a set of a few hundred fonts standardized by the w3c or whatwg that should come with every browser (and OS) install. It's surprising that this is never the actual discussion we have, but it's always a discussion of web safe fonts vs custom fonts. Then again, while browsers and OSes are already pretty big size wise, fonts wouldn't exactly make that better. On the other hand, they already include a whole bunch of fonts, so having some authority delegate what should be available everywhere wouldn't be inconceivable.
