Reply To: font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; is enough?

[Senff]

My question is if you use just this css: font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; is enough to ensure that the font is available on most computers?

Yes. It’s very safe and standard. Which, to some people, might make it a bit boring.

Google fonts is not a better solution — it’s just a different way of showing non-standard fonts (= fonts that users dont have installed on their local computer), and it’s definitely not “necessary” to use. If you think Arial/Helvetica looks good and clean, there’s no reason to try to find any other solutions.
