Even though one has to have the exact font on the computer in order to see it (Comic Sans is usually one of the standards), it IS fairly easy to choose a size and even display it as bold. I would think it should be possible see almost everything in the font YOU prefer. Specifying a font, as Joe just did, is to make it what everyone sees.
I usually choose Palatino linotype as my display font. (I have thousands to choose from)
