[tw5] Re: TW5 and Html Entity

FWIW, the fonts settings TW uses match those recommended in Shipping system 
fonts to GitHub.com , 
an article that I vaguely recall learning about here on the TW Google Group 
though can't find that now (May 2018 maybe?)

The article goes into considerable detail on how and why GitHub arrived at 
this combination for maximum platform / browser compatibility for GitHub's 
UI purposes. TW's may be different.

Hello Eric,
 Yep, your solution worked! Thank you!

I also agree to have TW with generic fonts. Users can set the fonts based 
on their requirements or they choose the taste they like.

The "problem" originates with the font settings for TW...

In the $:/ControlPanel > Appearances > ThemeTweaks tab, look for the 
FontFamily setting.  The default value is:

-apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, 
"Apple 
Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"

As you can see, there are MANY Apple-specific font references.  If you 
remove the last two fonts ("Segoe UI Emoji" and "Segoe UI Symbol"), the TW 
test output looks the same as the pure HTML output.

Personally, I'd prefer if the TW empty.html shipped with just the 'generic' 
fonts specified; i.e.; "Helvetica, sans-serif" so that the default fonts 
are platform-agnostic and the use of platform-specific fonts would done by 
selecting an Apple-oriented alternative theme definition that adds the 
extra font definitions, much in the same way that the "Snow White" theme 
builds on top of the "Vanilla Theme" (hmmm... "Snow White Apple"... )
