[thelist] absalom font

[Rob]

hi all,

Anyone know where I can get hold of a font called 'Absalom'?  I've tried 
the big font sites (fonts.com, linotype.com etc), and google, but no 
joy.  A sample is at http://www.robagar.com/absalom.jpg


On a related note, I was wondering which fonts you can assume to be 
available these days?  I tend to use arial, verdana + times new roman 
all the time, but really it's just force of habit. Are there any other 
safe choices these days?

cheers,
Rob
