I produce a monthly newsletter for my running club in which about 25%
receive it online after I convert it to PDF. I have found that unless I
stay with very vanilla fonts like Times New Roman and Arial many online
readers get error messages they can't open font X. Is there a standard
set of fonts(or font library) that exists on most operating systems?
Every time I try to add some font pizzazz I get into trouble. I can't
test this before I ship it because I obviously have the fonts.

There is such a set of fonts, but I don't really know where to look for
right now.

FWIW, how do you convert your documents to PDF? Beceause, if you have,
say, Acrobat (the full version), you _can_ in fact test what anyone else
sees: IIRC, somewhere in the View menue, you can specify to "Use local
fonts" when opening a PDF in Acrobat, which you would *not* want to do
for your purpose.

Of course, if you have Acrobat, you can also specify in your joboptions
that the fonts shall be included (fully or as a subset), so that anyone
opening this file should see what you intended to!
