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 resor


  The term "fall back on" means exactly what you described. :-)

To be clear, I'm saying one should look for the desired font(s), but if they're not found, ask the system for the appropriate font for the situation via one of the methods I listed.
