That's not true; our font preferences define the user's preference for the CSS
generic families 'serif' and 'sans-serif', and then choose which one is the
default.  So if we have a different default font, that implies having a
different value for either 'serif' or 'sans-serif', which means that either Web
pages that specify:
  font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
or:
  font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
will display differently, assuming you don't have Helvetica, Arial, Times New
Roman, and Times.
