Fonts on WEB

http://webfonts.fonts.com/
This site provides a little way for site designers to choose a preferred font family, backup choices, and finally a generic choice (serif, sans serif, and so on) if none of the fonts are available.
The no. of fonts available on systems is limited & downloadin fonts to your PC is a bit complicated job to do..
Monotype's Webfonts.fonts.com Web site offerins high-quality fonts that can be more easily served to site visitors. As a Web site developer, you would go to that site, create a project, pick the typefaces you want to use, and assign them to the CSS style sheet "selectors" that define different parts of your page. Fonts.com then creates a small HTML tag you add to the style sheet of your page. Visitors will then see the new fonts on your page...
Monotype Imaging says it works in all the popular browsers used on Windows and Mac PCs--Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Chrome, and Opera--with support for some Android devices coming......

One of the reasons print newspapers and magazines (and iPad apps, for that matter) tend to look better than their online counterparts is a better use of fonts. Making the Web look better as well is certainly a good step.
