New issue 21458 by [email protected]: Arial should never be used on the Mac
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=21458

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Be able to tell the difference between Arial and Helvetica
2. Think that Arial is comparatively ugly (because it is)
3. Visit some web pages that use font-face:sans-serif
4. Suspect that the text looks like Arial, but be unsure because it's too
small
5. Press command-+ (plus) a whole bunch of times to enlarge it

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expect: Helvetica, or for an even more Mac-like experience, Lucida Grande
Observe: Arial
Also observe: bad press for getting this wrong

We're using Arial as the default sans-serif font and we shouldn't be.

We're also hard-coding Arial in a number of places in our code, and we
shouldn't be doing that either.

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.
4.0.206.1 official release (206 branch r25349)
4.0.208.0 trunk r25632
