There's a lot to be said for departing from
the standard fonts, if only in order to
stand out from the crowd. However, unless
you're bundling fonts into your product
or working in, say, PDF, for your online
texts you're stuck with whatever fonts
you can be reasonably sure all your users'
configurations include.
