[Bold, Italic] Courier is the most common monospace (typewriter-style) font.

Times<\/span><\/td>\n\"Macintosh\"
\nMac<\/td>\n		Because some PCs have non-scalable fonts named Times<\/var>, it is common to lead with the scalable, nearly ubiquitous MSIE font Times New Roman<\/var> instead. Times is noticeably more compact than Times New Roman, so it can be too small to read on screen.<\/p>\n

font-family: “Times New Roman”, Times, serif<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Verdana<\/span><\/td>\nMS Internet Explorer<\/td>\nPossibly the most readable of the sans-serif fonts commissioned by Microsoft for on-screen use. However, Verdana shouldn\u2019t be used side-by-side with same-sized serif fonts, because Verdana will appear one or two sizes larger.<\/p>\n

font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

VT100<\/span><\/td>\nMachintosh
