The core four: Geor­gia, Ver­dana, Arial, and Times. Famil­iar to most, as the web safe fonts. All solid choices for max­i­mum com­pat­i­bil­ity. Nearly all of com­put­ers show them accu­rately (as shown below).

Search­ing for icons is a lit­tle like a trea­sure hunt. That is, if the trea­sure was spread all over in the hard­est to reach places. The prob­lem is you end up lik­ing one or two icons in a whole set and throw­ing out the rest. There’s a solu­tion and it’s called Icon Finder. All the icons you could ever need with licens­ing infor­ma­tion just a quick click away.

Icon Cred­its

I used Icon Finder heav­ily on my site and would like to credit some of the many won­der­ful icon design­ers who help us all look so good.

• Ever­aldo Coelho : Crys­tal Clear Icon Set
• Ikon : Round Icons
• Liam McKay : Func­tion Icons
• Oxy­gen Team: Oxy­gen Set
