What is the default font for tooltips in browsers?

I know that the browser decides that its tooltips (via the HTMl header attribute) look and that it cannot be changed, except, perhaps, with some browser settings. In my case, Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, and Safari used the same font, which looked very similar to the Segoe user interface. Where do they get this from? I need to simulate the appearance of tooltips and therefore need to know which font is being used.
