Error page buttons lack a fallback font

Reported by addydm...@gmail.com, Jun 29 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/61.0.3135.4 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Invoke an error page, eg, http://localhost:1234 assuming this port is not in use
2. Observe specified and effective `font-family` value.
3. Resize window to match the media query: (max-width: 420px) and (orientation: portrait), (max-height: 560px)
4. Observe specified and effective `font-family` value.

What is the expected behavior?
Font is Arial like on Windows, or system-ui (same as body text) on macOS. Additionally, fallback fonts are provided.

What went wrong?
Font is Arial with no fallback. When matching the media query, font stack is `Roboto-Regular,Helvetica`. Roboto is installed (by default in some distros), but Roboto-Regular does not map to it. Helvetica is not installed. Hence, the fallback serif font is used.

Did this work before? N/A

Tested on reported Chrome Dev Version #61.0.3135.4 and latest Dev version #61.0.3141.7 on Ubuntu 14.04, Windows 10 and Mac 10.12.5. Observed that Font’s displayed in normal resolution and in the mentioned resolution (420*560) seems to similar. Attached is the screenshot for reference.
 
@addymasi - Could you please provide us with the screenshot and let us know the actual behavior so that it would help us to triage the issue further.
 
Thanks in advance.

Seems buttons only appear when "Use a web service to help resolve navigation errors" is off. Screenshots attached, larger (Arial labels) and smaller (serif labels).

This is about the CSS for the internal error page, not about how blink renders fonts. Over to UI compontent.
As per C#6,Could someone from UI team please take a look into this issue.

Thanks in advance..!

Unable to reproduce the issue on the latest stable(62.0.3202.89) on Linux Ubuntu 14.04 unchecking the 'Use a web service to help resolve navigation errors' checkbox.

addydmasi@: Could you please confirm if this is still an issue, also the Linux OS flavor where you are seeing this issue on?

As there is no action on this issue for long time closing this issue. Request you to update your Chrome to latest #66.0.3359.181 and verify. Feel free to file a new issue if the issue is still reproduced at your end.

Thanks!
Sorry I missed this… can’t repro in 68.0.3438.3 dev, Ubuntu 18.04 (initially was reported on 17.04). Font stack is still `Roboto-Regular, Helvetica` but renders as Liberation Sans. This test was on a machine with 96dpi display while the original report was on a 120dpi display, not sure if dpi would make a difference here. Scaling was set to 1.25 in gnome-tweak-tool in both situations. With ttf-mscorefonts-installer installed this was not an issue, since Helvetica is aliased to Arial.
