This Wiki description is actually an advertisement for a system of diagrammatic thinking derived from Section 3 of Upton & Sampson's out of print workbook text, Creative Analysis, for which Innovative Sciences held (or still holds) the copyright. Creative analysis, in turn is based upon Albert Upton's book, Design for Thinking (Pacific Press).
The Wikimedia renderer only knows specific, free fonts, a list of which can be found here. Other, non-free fonts such as Arial, Verdana, Helvetica etc. are replaced by a similar one. The Noto fonts are a good choice to use since they provide visual consistency across a wide range of scripts and languages.
