=====CSS Favorite Font Families=====

Listed below are CSS font-family settings made up of common typefaces (fonts) found on Windows and Mac systems.  They are listed by class (serif, sans-serif, monospace) in order of my preference as they would appear on your browser.  As a web designer, I've found this to be one of my most valuable and most often referred-to refererences. I've moved it over here for easier updating.
