Arial is crappier than Helvetica in most places (aside from those
Windows installed Helvetica fonts) I can't really think of any
situation where a device would have Helvetica but not any of the
others. Are there any linux installs which don't have Nimbus Sans L
and don't have a font which would be matched by Arial?
I don't know, and that's basically why it's there. I don't know of any
other desktop OSes, but I'm sure they're there. As for mobile, there's
Blackberry, which I also know nothing about. But again, that's why
Helvetica is there... as a general fallback (before sans-serif).
