     and don't have a font which would be matched by Arial?

I don't know, and that's basically why it's there. I don't know of any other desktop OSes, but I'm sure they're there. As for mobile, there's Blackberry, which I also know nothing about. But again, that's why Helvetica is there... as a general fallback (before sans-serif).
