Out of the box Firefox Fonts are absolutely horrible. This was a
critical issue and a "deal breaker" for me so I ended up not installing
Ubuntu.
Isn't this bug supposed to be at least Major? The Web Browsing
experience is fairly important...

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?

Thats the first thing I did and I confirm that did not fix the poblem.

I have tried some some of solutions mentioned here and none of them
work. It depends on the website set up. Yahoo mail is the worst for me.

@Philipp:
1. if we change the default settings in favor of DejaVu Sans, then I can
guarantee you that many other users will file bugs against this change,
because of metric incompatibility. Happened already before, I know what
I'm talking about.
2. The webpages are clearly readable to me. I agree
Arne, please consider that the status quo are barely readable web pages.
I'm not opposed against a sensible font mapping, but the result needs to
be readable, too, not "only" metric compatible.

The mapping from Helvetica to Nimbus Sans L is there for a reason:
metric compatibility. This means documents set in Helvetica but opened
in OpenOffice or any other word processor will still have more or less
the same layout. DejaVu Sans is *not* metric compatible, neither with

I don't agree that the requirement to change the Font settings after a
