No, you should fall back on the system as mentioned above. Always.
Why? It's perfectly reasonable to look for, say, Tahoma but fall back
to Helvetica, then use the system font as a last resort. Web pages use
these sorts of chains all the time, it's a core part of CSS.
(There are a lot of fonts that many, but not all, Macs have: for
example, the ones installed along with iWork or MS Office.)
