Is it allowed to use: "font-family: Segoe UI, Trebuchet MS, Lucide grande, sans-serif"

And just rely on the font thats already installed on the system. Including "ROBOTO" on any android device...

I would like to go away from google-fonts (Open sans), as it is causing data-protection problems in EU, and is also blocking website speed (CLS). Whatever.. I think its stupid to download a font.

I know it will look slightly different on Windows and Mac Systems, - but anyway it does look different on Android devices all the time, so let the Mac use Trebuchet MS an I am fine with that. It will not destroy the whole design.

I just would like to use "Segoe UI" if it is available on a Windows System (and it is on 99,9% of them anyway) I do not offer it for download or safe it somewhere.

Is that legal?

I found the standard-web fonts (Arial, Verdana,...) are always missing a semibold weight, thats why I dislike to use them.

It is legal if you don't upload it on you site, if you just specify like font-family: Segoe UI, Trebuchet MS, Lucide grande, sans-serif its legal

If you want place font to your site (upload to your server) for all users (not only if they have it on PC) you need to buy Web License for it
