In CSS it is listed second and onward in the `font-family` list: ```css font-family: "Roboto", "Arial", sans-serif; ``` The browser will substitute Arial if Roboto fails to load, and if that is unavailable too, it will fall back to the system font from the `sans-serif` family.For the reviewerNote to the moderator (optional)Visible only to the moderator.
