Currently my font stack is "HelveticaNeue-Light","Helvetica Neue Light","Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,"Lucida Grande",sans-serif. The issue I'm having is that some of my images/buttons with text are forced to be either HelveticaNeue or Arial - one or the other, obviously. If a user without Helvetica (Windows users) visits, the Arial body text clashes with the HelveticaNeue button text, and then vice versa.

If I use Arial as the first font in the font-stack, will a large portion of Apple users see Arial? Does Arial ship with Apple devices, and if so, when did they start this?

It looks like Arial has been shipping with Macs at least since OS 10.0 was released:

So it looks like all Mac users will see Arial.

for all iOS fonts, a site previously mentioned on SE: iosfonts.com
