OK , with Melko I've found out what's going on. It seems I have 2 packages : font-adobe-75dpi and font-adobe-100dpi which contain a Helvetica font. The website asks for a font from this family: font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; Since I don't have verdana or arial ( I don't have the MS fonts package ) it chooses the helvetica bitmap version which is finds in those 2 packages mentioned earlier. One way to avoid this is to have the liberation-fonts package installed since then it will choose these before Helvetica. Another option is to just remove those adobe font packages in wich case it will use ttf-bitstream-vera. I'm looking into moving the adobe font packages into extra and pulling liberation-fonts into base.
