I think you want portability, right?
I recommend using TrueType fonts, since they scale well to different sizes.
Three of these come included in any standard Windows installation (back to Windows 95).
Times New Roman is a serif font (serifs are the little "hooks" at the top and bottom of the letters; they are supposed to guide the eye, and make reading easier.
Arial is a sans-serif (no-serif) font. These fonts are recommended for titles.
Courier New is a fixed-width font. Using a fixed-width font makes it easy to align text in certain cases. Computer code is usually shown in a fixed-width font.
Most other TrueType fonts are installed together with individual applications, such as MS-Office, Corel Draw, etc., so there is no guarantee that individual users have them on their computers.
