[LUGSB] X font deuglification

[Vinay Pai]

Are you using your own build of moz?

If not, you've probably got your default fonts set to some kind of
bitmapped or maybe type2 font.  Set it to a TTF such as vera and it should
all be ok

I get the same problem in Konqueror too.  I managed to change the 
default font to an anti-aliased font, but some websites request for 
fonts explicitly (like NYtimes, which asks for Helvetica), which picks 
up the ugly fonts.  Is there any way to change the default mapping?
