The current font list is (in order of preference):
Souvenir Georgia Times New Roman Times Serif
Like I said earlier, Georgia is commonly supplied with Operating Systems these days, and I think it looks perfectly fine that way. Perhaps its time to start compiling a list of platforms and font availability.
I think so far we have:
Windows 2000 Windows XP MacOS X
And possibly:
Windows 95/98 (Supplied with IE 4+, so may require additional download).

Yes, any good webpage designer always specifies an alternative 'out' for those
who don't own the font. Right now, the Lone Wolf HTML use Souvenir if present,
but defaults to something else if not. That's what we're looking to do with FW,
if at all possible.
