Courier, or Courier New. I think you'll find that quite a few fonts 
these days are named the same on both platforms. Times New Roman, 
Arial, and Courier are examples.

Of course, the Mac still has Times and Helvetica. A lot depends on 
what software the user has installed. I think my copies of some of 
the fonts came with MS Word.

Not that I'm aware of. But I'd love to hear of one too!
