Yea, it has times, ariel and a few others that I use a lot so it has
to stay. I was going to try without it but I use those a lot. Ariel
is really good for me to read with these old glasses.
Arial is simply the TrueType clone of Helvetica ...
Helvetica (in red) overlaid with Arial (in blue):

"Though nearly identical to Linotype Helvetica in both proportion and
weight (see figure), the design of Arial is in fact a variation of
Monotype Grotesque, ... Subtle changes and variations were made to
both the letterforms and the spacing between characters, in order to
make it more readable on screen and at various resolutions."
