Judy, No, you're right... Arial is the default *system font* under Windows and Geneva is the default *system font* on the Mac. However the original question was what does Arial map to on the Macintosh in MetaCard. If you create a blank field in MC/Mac, the font is set to Helvetica (or it is on 2.3 MC, which is the only MC I have handy right now). If a field with a font set to Arial on Windows is moved to a Mac without Arial, I'm pretty sure it maps it to Helvetica. I may be wrong; can anyone confirm?
