That's why many define a "default font stack" - basically a default for each device:

  font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Open Sans", "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif;

On your list, Ubuntu font does not cover Hangul (>50 million people) at all for example. You are blessed to write in writing systems with good default fonts.

Not all of the 50 million people use Linux, so they should be covered with the previous fonts. But i'm curious - if some character cannot be displayed, will the browser try the next (or fallback) one automatically? I've been using this list for quite some time, but maybe it's time to revise it.

Oxygen isn't default on Plasma for quite a long time already. It's Noto.

It is fortunate that you have a lot of fonts to fill with.
