Hi, I understand the source of this issue is to avoid patent
infringement. (if i'm not mistaken, the FF3/cairo problem)

However, may I suggest one change:  After the user installs
msstcorefonts (Microsoft fonts package), could the "Arial" font be
automatically used for the "Helvetica" name?

Currently, "Helvetica" simply stays mapped to the "Nimbus Sans L", altough 
"Arial" perhaps is a closer match.
