Hi everybody,
My first ubuntu installation was 5.10 (amd64), and then I upgraded
up to 7.10.
Since my first installation defaults fonts for Firefox looks awful, I
must change the defaults and not allow pages to set there own font if
I want to get a nice regular look.
I was hoping this problem could be solved during each of the upgrades
I've done, but it didn't so I decide to e-mail you to get some help.
The fonts that look awful are what in Firefox is called:
Helvetica, Times, Courier (not sure to what x-font they are mapped)
I've tried dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig, deleting font-cache directories in my home, deleting some bad looking fonts from the /usr/share/X11/fonts in an infinite combination of tries, and it didn't work.
Also deleting and reinstalling X and Firefox.
Any help (except install from scratch)
will be greatly welcome
Thanks in advance
