I have been pulling out my hair trying to get this to work correctly and I 
dunno what the heck is wrong. I'm hoping someone can help.

I am running KDE 3.0 and have anti-aliased fonts turned on. They render very 
nice and I am pleased with that. However, I have noticed that when I go to 
certain web pages (for example http://www.mandrakeforum.com) in Konqueror, 
the font is not anti-aliased.

The problem stems from the Helvetica font in XFree86-75dpi-fonts. A lot of web 
sites specify Helvetica as the font to use. So Mandrake works fine - it 
listens to the web page. Problem is, I want the page to be rendered with 
anti-aliased fonts. 

I have modified ad nauseum my /etc/X11/XftConfig file to make an alias that 
matches any Helvetica font and instead uses Arial but it does not work. If I 
remove the XFree86-75dpi-fonts package, www.mandrakeforum.com renders the way 
I want it to. But then all the other non-KDE fonts look REAL ugly. I have 
tried to remove all instances of Helvetica using drakfont but that doesn't 
work either. 

So, can anyone tell me how to make this work properly?
