Most used fonts in website graphics, website design or web graphics in general:
Impact: Headlines, Logos
Arial or Verdana: Body of Text, Figures Explained:
Times New Roman or Garmond: Make It Look Like a Professional Book
Cool Handwriting Fonts: Hand of Sean or Just Act Casual from Dafont are awesome.
Myriad Pro Semibold: Apples Website Font. I use on graphics. Don't use on your website text though as most people will not have it installed on their system.
Obama or Clinton Font: Gotham (this free one is similar)
You can get some of these fonts Free from http://www.dafont.com/ or you can buy others from here or from Linotype.
When in doubt, I use Arial because it is easy to read and consistent.
Do not use too many fonts on a give page. Try to limit it to two, three if you know what you are doing. Remember, just as sometimes one word can replace 5, one font can replace 5 also.
