      How can it be all the three?

        When multiple fonts are specified, it allows the system to try to use them in order of priority. First it tries helvetica, then arial, and the sans-serif. It fails-over to the second and then third ones if it can't find the previous font(s).

        Generally, all operating systems have an internally-defined font that is the default for sans-serif and another one that is defined for serif. This way, no matter what, if you have serif or sans-serif at the end of a list of fonts like that, it will always have that font to fail-over to.
