XF 2.1 Why so many fonts?

[Mr Lucky]

'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Fira Sans', 'Droid Sans', sans-serif

To cater for different OS which have different default fonts installed:

• Segoe UI for Windows Vista and newer
• Helvetica Neue for MacOS Yosemite and newer
• Helvetica for iOS
• Roboto for Android 4 and newer, Droid Sans for older versions
• Oxygen and Cantarell for certain linux disbributions
• Ubuntu for Ubuntu
• Fira Sans for Firefox OS

And if none of them is available: sans-serif

OK thanks, I wondered it may be something like that.

But I thought Helvetica was on everything. (Just checked "web safe fonts" and I'm wrong.
