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. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Helvarial.png ** Attachment added: "Nimbus Sans L vs Arial difference" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/16314553/nimbus%28left%29.to.arial%28right%29.difference.png -- firefox font changed to narrower, less readable font https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/220568 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
