Public bug reported:
When opening a mail in gmail that was send by someone with outlook , the
font (Verdana) looks really ugly and broken. This is because for small
font sizes the embedded bitmap is used. The default behaviour should be
to not use the embeddedBitmap for Verdana (and other ttf-ms-corefonts),
since that makes them very ugly.
Workaround: Add following lines to ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf
<match target="font" >
<edit name="embeddedbitmap" mode="assign">
<bool>false</bool>
</edit>
</match>
