> Times has been baked into the Web Platform for so long, we effectively can’t change the serif - Times mapping. There is nothing baked-in about using Times and Arial for `serif` and `sans-serif`. Other browsers let the end user change the mappings. I use Georgia and Tahoma. For `monospace`, even the default mapping varies by browser/OS. Any website that is using the generic font family keywords is accepting that the appearance will vary by browser & OS & user preferences. If an author really wanted Times, it's easy for them to say so. That said, if Apple for branding purposes doesn't want the new fonts to ever be the default font used in web content, that's fine. As I said before, this is one case where I think it's fine to keep using CSS prefixes, since this (fonts that you can't access by a normal name) is a feature that has no equivalent in other OS. -- GitHub Notification of comment by AmeliaBR Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/4107#issuecomment-511134972 using your GitHub account
