Thread: Helvetica remapped in Chrome and Epiphany-webkit

i have bought number of fonts (including helvetica) , have them installed. running karmic 9.10 64bit.

when website prescribes helvetica in css, in firefox, see helvetica.

in chrome, arial.

in epiphany deja vu sans.

i'd use chrome default browser. or epiphany fine too. font issue problem.

driving me mad perhaps understatement. know doesn't sound big deal itch can't scratch!

fc-match -v "helvetica" results in:

pattern has 32 elts (size 48)
