After some googling & investigation I found out that Nimbus Sans substitutes
Helvetica when fonts-urw-base35 package is installed but it does not render
correctly on some sites compared to Soto Sans or Arial. Running 'fc-match
Helvetica' returns 'NimbusSans-Regular.otf: "Nimbus Sans" "Regular"'
Workaround would be to add an override to chrome/userContent.css file in the
profile folder and then restart the browser:
@font-face {
font-family: Helvetica;
src: local('Noto Sans');
}
Alternate method would be creating ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf xml file if
it doesn't exist and adding override there, but it would be not as easy
syntax-wise compared to the above method.
