Browser/OS support fonts [closed]

Where can I find a list of browser safe fonts? I mean fonts I can use in my webpages which will be displayed correctly in different browsers and versions both with Windows and Mac.

UPDATE:

Yes, I know how to search with Google. I just thought someone at this forum could give me a link to a matrix with font/browser/browserversion/os support of fonts. Like http://www.quirksmode.org/compatibility.html for CSS support.

I found something that comes close to what I meant: http://www.upsdell.com/BrowserNews/res_fonts.htm

These is just one good link from a quick google search for "safe web font".

You can learn quite a lot from the wikipedia entry for Web Typography.

This may not be the exact answer you were searching, but you can use more fonts than the web-safe ones with services like Cufón:
