If you had passed a supported font to the font-family tag it would have rendered it (it will not download a webfont). Since people really don't like seeing square boxes instead of characters windows tries very hard to find a font that will draw the character. Based on historic precedent Times New Roman is normally chosen.
You'll note the fallback-families he lists are exactly those supported by the GDI LOGFONT structure which dates to windows 3.0. This is old creaky stuff we're dealing with.
