CSS Font Stack
If you want to use system fonts, and to be sure that your font choices work for a larger percentage of users, check out the lists available here. You can see the availability if you mouse over the "i", and the copied stack will have viable backup fonts included.

Another approach you can take now is to embed the font(s) you'd like to use on your website, and the easiest way to do this is to use the open source typefaces available from Google.
