Comment (by emaralive):

 Upon additional review, it appears that system fonts have a play in the
 game of "which font do I render as an alternative?", e.g., specified font
 is not installed and a browser picking the closest alternative. For
 example, Firefox, when I specified "Helvetica" the rendered font changed
 to "Nimbus Sans" and appears to be acceptable at a font weight of 100.
 Looking at the installed fonts for a 64 bit Linux box, neither "Arial" nor
 "Helvetica" are installed by default, but the corresponding alternative
 are "Liberation Sans" and "Nimbus Sans", respectively. I suppose the font
 listing could include more possible fonts, e.g.:

 {{{
 --bbbase-font-base: 100 16px/1.5 'Inter', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
 }}}

 Which might be an acceptable change, until we find out we need to include,
 yet, another font. Thoughts?
