    Don't let your code monkey bully you unless she has a better reason than 'those are the only system fonts there are'.

    If there's something that's reasonably common but not a system font, put it at the start of your font list and then finish with Arial, sans-serif for users who don't have the font.

    For example:
    font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif;

    Anyone without Helvetica Neue should see Arial.

    Your code monkey would be aware of that I would have thought? Maybe she's in a grump :)
