Is Arial Black web safe?
I have read it is but when I put it in my font declaration, I am being given Times New Roman back.
Does anyone know why?

According to Code Style Font Survey (actually the best estimate you can have) Arial Black is commonly installed on about 97% of Windows and Mac computers and 68% of Linux machines. So, it’s fairly safe to use it, but you got to provide substitutes for it in your font stack. Something like:
If you wish it to appear, even when it’s not really installed on your (or any user) system, then you’ll have to embed the font file by using @font-face directive in your CSS.
