I've never heard of either of these. This is why you specify the font
as a list, rather than just a single font. For example, one font I
use a lot is Verdana, but it's only available on Win98 and newer. So
I use "verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif" to cover all bases (Arial
is only on Windows; everywhere else Helvetica is the closest choice).
My advice is to find a commonly-available Windows font to use as a
second choice (one that comes with Windows, and has ever since 95),
but be sure to include choices that work on Mac and Linux/Unix as well
(such as Helvetica) if you want to avoid the dreaded Times/Roman
default.
