This is a list of fonts that are common to various operating systems, as well as other freely available fonts. You can use this to find out which ones are available in your computer, and to see what the fallback font may look like for fonts you don't have.

Fonts not available on your system will show using your default font.

If you enable javascript, this page will be able to identify which fonts you have installed on your system.

Let me know if you think other fonts should be included in this list. Especially other Libre fonts.
