Jun 5, 2018 at 21:20 comment added user2891127 In Libreoffice, the lower case e's look different, but when I took a screenshot and moved around layers in GIMP trying to prove you wrong, it appears they match exactly. I agree, arial. You guess as to what system is seems correct as well. Thank you.
Jun 5, 2018 at 20:24 comment added zeethreepio At the larger size I'm getting Arial as your answer. I might also add that on my computer (a mac), System is using a different font from your example. My guess is that "system" isn't a font, but rather a shortcut to choosing the computer's set default system font - in this case it would appear to be set to Arial.

Jun 4, 2018 at 19:29 comment added zeethreepio Can you upload an image where the font is larger? It's hard to see the nuances of the letterforms on a smaller specimen such as this. Also, is your "user" from the question running on Windows?
