Hi Anirae,

Different operating systems have their own core fonts. For portability, it's probably best to either use your own font and include that with the code, or test for the availability of suitable fonts on the host system. With the latter, you'll find for example that Times, Times New Roman and Times Roman all look pretty much the same, as do Helvetica and Arial.
