What's wrong is that these fonts are not "common". For example
OpenOffice does not have them. So please relax the limitation to

 Variable size serif font resembling Times, Time New Roman
 Variable size sans serif font resembling Helvetica, Arial

to which I would add

 Fixed size font resembling Courier, Courier New

for source code.
