I don't know if anyone else is seeing this, but on pages that use
Helvetica (e.g. Freshports), I see chopped fonts. That is, the browser
thinks the font is smaller than it is. This makes for an annoying
effect. Maybe I just have a bad Helvetica (though I should be using the
standard XFree86 version). In any event, if others are seeing this, and
it bothers you, were is a ~/.fonts.conf addition that replaces Helvetica
with your default sans-serif font (Bitstream Vera for me).
