   -- Default sans-serif font in MacOS
   -- MacOS (El Capitan and newer) San Francisco
   -- MacOS (Yosemite) Helvetica Neue
   -- MacOS (older versions) Lucida Grande
   -- Please note that — although for interface San Francisco is the default
   -- sans-serif font — for web -apple-system will need to be used, as the
   -- sans-serif fallback will display Helvetica instead of San Francisco.
   --(this is one of the quirks I mentioned earlier)

   -- Default sans-serif font in Windows
   -- The difference between Microsoft Sans Serif and MS Sans Serif is that MS Sans Serif was a
   -- bitmap/raster font available in 8, 10, 12, 14, 18, and 24 sizes and Microsoft Sans Serif is a TrueType scalable font.

   -- MS Sans Serif was based on Helvetica and in all versions up to Windows 3.1 it was called Helv.
   --Windows (Vista and newer, including Windows 10) Segoe UI
   -- Windows (XP) Tahoma
   -- Windows (2000) Microsoft Sans Serif
   -- Windows (95, NT, Millennium) MS Sans Serif
   -- Windows (older versions including Windows 3) Helv
   -- Default sans-serif font in Linux: Many Linux users re-configure defaults to other fonts like Inter UI or others.
   -- So it’s almost impossible to accurately mention defaults, except for the Ubuntu distro
   --  which has its own font as default.
   -- Red Hat also has commissioned its own fonts Red Hat Display and Red Hat Text.

   -- Ubuntu - Ubuntu
   -- Red Hat = Red Hat
   -- Other distros (Arch Linux, Debian, Fedora etc.) varies, can be DejaVu Sans, Noto Sans, Liberation Sans etc.

   -- iOS (9 and newer)and iPadOS San Francisco
   -- iOS (8 and older) Helvetica/Helvetica Neue

   -- watchOS = San Francisco Compact
   -- Android (4.0+) Roboto
   -- Android (older versions) Droid Sans
