Agree 100%, assuming this means the site still has Helvetica set as its preferred font. We've spent years in the distro fixing the reliance on this ass-ugly piece of bitmap crap, so why does the website of the damn distro want to use it?! Since we now have such lovely fonts in Mandrake, the website should have the default font set as "sans", so it actually looks half acceptable. Sites that default to Helvetica bug me so much I've actually wiped the font from my system (I tried setting up that thing you can do in fonts.conf that make it use Vera in place of Helvetica, but I could never make it work), so now the MDK page looks okay to me, but this is a hack I should NOT have to use. -- adamw
