What are your favorite fonts on a website? What kind of font order do you use.?

For example, I typically use:
font-family: "Lucida Grande", "Trebuchet MS", "Bitstream Vera Sans", Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

prefer Verdana for body text over Arial or Trebuchet

quite possibly the second most irritating thing about web design, behind cross-browser issues, is the lack of type control we have without using flash or images - can only hope CSS or some other future technology will help us out, although i've no idea how it would be achieved

It depends on the website, sometimes Verdana Or Arial looks good, and sometimes I would use Georgia.

how cross-platform compatible is georgia?
