Is it just me or on Android do like 90% of these not really work right? Firefox is especially sparse, but Chrome isn't much better.

Does Android just not ship with many fonts? I'm on a Pixel 6 with Android 13.

For instance on Firefox:

- Transitional, Old Style, Slab Serif, Antique, and Didone fall back to serif

- all Humanist variants, Industrial, and Rounded Sans fall back to sans-serif

- nothing for Handwritten (so just shows up as sans serif)

And Chrome is better but still not great:

- Transitional, Old Style, Slab Serif, and Didone fall back to serif

- all Humanist variants and Rounded Sans fall back to source-sans-pro
