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).
