This is a two part question, the second question is dependent on the first:


What are the most popular fonts used on web pages? (the top half dozen will suffice).
Include the proper CSS fallbacks for the above fonts.


The reason I ask is that I have to build a form that will allow webmasters to choose a CSS font from a drop-down menu. The site will take the chosen string (fonts with respective fallbacks) from a database and insert it (via php) into aspects of a page.

Edit: Just passing this on. Although not scientific in its approach to what constitutes 'popular' fonts and respective fallback combinations, this was a helpful starting point: www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_websafe_fonts.asp

A good place to start is Code Style's font survey. They have data on the most commonly installed fonts for each of Windows, Mac and Linux (plus a Java app you can use to contribute your data) and suggested font lists for serif, sans-serif plus a few more.
