Yeah, That was my other solution: screenshots. It was getting to be a pain in the arse, but apparently not quite enough of a pain as it took me two years to finally get around to fixing it. What made me realize what was happening was looking at the source for bugs.g.o and seeing it was asking for Helvetica. I noticed it wasn't installed, then I googled for how to search fonts which led me to fc-match, which then led to googling Helvetica for gentoo, which led to liberation-fonts. I didn't even know you could use eselect to toggle font groups until yesterday, and I've been using gentoo since 2003... I figured if you installed fonts it would use them but that's not the case! Oh well, learn something new every day. Now I just have to remember the old thing I forgot because of this new thing I learned... sigh.
