I know how that font looks like, and can recognize it from the ugly Type1 fonts supplied by the package "gsfonts" (Nimbus/URW ones above), and I see that Firefox uses some font from gsfonts instead of the "Bitstream Vera Serif" font in all webpages I browse. Only in the Firefox menus (File, Edit, etc...), and form buttons, select drop-down lists in POST forms etc use Bitstream Vera. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i586) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.12-1-386 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages mozilla-firefox depends on: ii debianutils 2.14.2 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii fontconfig 2.3.2-1 generic font configuration library ii libatk1.0-0 1.10.1-2 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.3.5-4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libfontconfig1 2.3.2-1 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.1.10-1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.0.1-6 GCC support library ii libglib2.0-0 2.8.0-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.6.9-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libidl0 0.8.5-1 library for parsing CORBA IDL file ii libjpeg62 6b-10 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libpango1.0-0 1.8.2-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpng12-0 1.2.8rel-1 PNG library - runtime ii libstdc++6 4.0.1-6 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libx11-6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-5 X Window System protocol client li ii libxext6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-5 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii libxft2 2.1.7-1 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxp6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-5 X Window System printing extension ii libxrender1 1:0.9.0-2 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxt6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-5 X Toolkit Intrinsics ii psmisc 21.6-1 Utilities that use the proc filesy ii xlibs 6.8.2.dfsg.1-5 X Window System client libraries m ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-3 compression library - runtime mozilla-firefox recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
