According to this article, "some pre-installed Windows Fonts can be published to the web without purchasing an additional license, others like Arial, are owned by Monotype and are subject to a web font license." I thought I'd share in case that's a good enough reason to use another font.
The root issue here is that the client's brand mgmt team doesn't understand that the fonts they've chosen for the company's print materials and website don't render well in Storyline, or other course authoring tools.
Note to clients and IDs: always test/prototype the required font in a slide or two and show the client what it will look like. Do this at the beginning of the project and get them to sign off on the font they want used. In writing.

Hi Shari,

Hope that's helpful!
Thank you, Allison,
