I had a chat with Rich about this. He showed me how to make this
change at the user level, so that at least *I* won't have this problem
anymore, even if newbie Debian users do:
$ cat ~/.fonts.conf
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<!-- http://bugs.debian.org/444811 -->
<!-- On Debian the fuzzy, unreadable Type1 "Nimbus" family provided
by the gsfonts package is used by default, even if ttf-dejavu
and ttf-liberation are installed. This declaration prevents
fontconfig-enabled applications from ever using Nimbus. -->
<selectfont>
<rejectfont>
<glob>/usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/*</glob>
</rejectfont>
</selectfont>
</fontconfig>
Rich also pointed out the ttf-liberation currently takes precedence
over gsfonts for the "arial" alias, but the "helvetica" alias still
points to gsfonts (URW Nimbus).
