I am just giving my point of view.
 From my experience, page layouts expect some metrics, for fonts and for 
form elements (buttons, lineedit, etc).

Most modern system use FontConfig, and it will happily return you a font 
corresponding to Arial or Times new with at least similar metrics.

If current website like Amazon is broken because of the font, users will 
blame the browser. No matter how "right" it is by using the system font.

Again that is just my point of view. :)
