The most common fonts

The table below is a periodically updated listing of font survey results for all platforms, the cumulative total of all valid font survey submissions since January 2003.

These figures are calculated per platform and do not show how common the fonts on other systems. Think of it this way: more Mac systems have the Monaco font than Windows systems have Trebuchet MS.

Common fonts on all systems to 13 October 2007
