Is there any standard that has a list of web-safe fonts

Question

Is there any standard that has a list of web-safe fonts?

I expected W3C to have one, but I couldn't find. I found it more to be just a terminology instead of any standard. Am I right?

Answer 1

W3C doesn't have a standard list simply because they aren't the ones who determine what fonts are installed on what computers.

Some of the most common fonts installed on most computers today include Arial, Verdana, Georgia and Times New Roman. There's no standard here, it just so happens that these fonts are included in most OS installations.
