I learned that the system was mapping Times and Helvetica to Nimbus
equivalents, and that was messing up some websites. On-screen display of
Nimbus fonts in Linux is not ideal, even if I disable hinting. They have
a way to look awful. I changed the mappings to use Liberation fonts, and
the result is much more harmonious text on websites. Nimbus can look
really bad on small sizes.
