What fonts are installed by default on Android devices?

I know about the Droid fonts and Roboto, but what about core web fonts like Arial, Times, or Verdana? Are they available? What other fonts are installed by default on Android devices?

(This question has been asked before, but the accepted answer is outdated)

There are only three system wide fonts in Android;

1 normal (Droid Sans),

2 serif (Droid Serif),

3 monospace (Droid Sans Mono).

Applications can install fonts for themselves, but not for system-wide use.

For more you can see List of fonts included with each device link

Since the Ice Cream Sandwich release, Roboto has been the standard typeface on Android.

Since Froyo, Noto has been the standard typeface on Android for all languages not covered by Roboto. Noto is also the standard typeface for all languages on Chrome OS.
