Can anyone think of a sans-serif font that will be on a standard Windows 7 install which has a narrow less than (<) and greater than (>) signs?

Sorry what I meant by narrow was squashed in the so the total width is squashed. (not the stroke)
D'you mean narrow as in "a small horizontal distance between the point and the two ends of the symbol", or narrow as in "drawn as if using a fine-tipped pen"?
If it's the first one, you've not got much choice. The narrowest I could find was for Franklin Gothic. But the problem you've got is that the symbol is inherently pretty square [otherwise it stops being seen as a greater/less than symbol].
Actually, you're also pretty much out of luck if you meant the second definition - Candara, perhaps? None I've seen have the fine-lined elegance; you only really see those with pro fonts with a broad range of weights.
EDIT: Ah, you meant the first one
Not going to have much joy, though, by the looks of it. If you're trying to employ them as link pointers, maybe there's a font-substitution/iconfont/graphic solution?

I'm happy using a web font if needs be. I was hoping someone knew one off the top of their head so I didn't have to trawl through loads of fonts.
