title: Helvetica renders as Arial on Windows OS
body: <p>On my site, <a href="http://helvetitee.com" rel="noreferrer">http://helvetitee.com</a>, I have the following font stack:</p>
  
  <pre><code>font-family: "helvetica neue", helvetica, nimbus-sans;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>Nimbus Sans (a web font) is pulled in from TypeKit.</strong></p>
  
  <p>On Windows machines, regardless of the browser, the user is shown Arial. It seems that Helvetica is rendered as Arial by Windows instead of falling back to Nimbus (which is an Helvetica clone and therefore preferable to Arial).</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way, other than OS sniffing, to prevent this? Is it a known issue? It seems to be something of a liberty for Windows to just assume it's OK to show Arial instead of Helvetica.</p>
