Nice article on Unit Blog that takes a look at font stacks and ways to optimize them beyond the standard CSS options.

While it is true that there are only a handful of web safe fonts, the ones we do have at our disposal can be quite powerful and diversely useful. On top of that, CSS gives us a nice little thing called a font stack.
