These fonts may not be pre-installed on all devices, leading to potential font substitution issues.
- Calibri, Cambria, Segoe UI, Trebuchet MS: While popular on Windows, these fonts might not be widely available on non-Windows platforms like Mac, iphones, ipads, or older devices.
- Conduit: This font has limited character support, making it unsuitable for international content.
- Impact, Papyrus, Wingdings, Comic Sans, Rockwell: These fonts, often used for informal or decorative purposes, can cause compatibility issues due to their less common nature or limited character sets.
To ensure cross-platform compatibility, consider using web-safe fonts that are pre-installed on most devices and operating systems:
- Sans-serif fonts: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, Roboto, Open Sans, and Lato.
- Serif fonts: Georgia, Merriweather, and Lora.
- Monospace fonts: Courier New, Consolas, and Monaco.
By avoiding these fonts, you can create a website that is more visually appealing, easier to read, and more accessible to a wider audience.
