488-
<p>All five generic font families are defined to exist in all CSS
489-
implementations (they need not necessarily map to five distinct actual
490-
fonts). User agents should provide reasonable default choices for the
491-
generic font families, which express the characteristics of each family
492-
as well as possible within the limits allowed by the underlying
493-
technology. User agents are encouraged to allow users to select
494-
alternative choices for the generic fonts.</p>
488+
<p>All five generic font families must always result in at least
489+
one matched font face, for all CSS implementations. However, the
490+
generics may be composite faces (with different typefaces based
491+
on such things as the Unicode range of the character, the language of the containing
492+
element, user preferences and system settings, among others). They are also
493+
not guaranteed to always be different from each other.</p>

<p>User agents should provide reasonable default choices for the

generic font families, which express the characteristics of each
497+
family as well as possible, within the limits allowed by the underlying
498+
technology. User agents are encouraged to allow users to select
499+
alternative choices for the generic fonts.</p>
