- However I wonder if 'Helvetica' will ever actually be matched. Even 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).
