Comparison · System Fonts
Each row is forced to one font name with no fallback list, so the browser can only use it if it's actually installed on this Mac — otherwise it silently substitutes the system default, which will make that row look identical to the "System (SF Arabic)" row at top.
Sample: الحروف العربية (“the Arabic letters”), plus the joining test ي ييي from the keyboard reference.
