[ltp] Help with Helvetica (wonderful in GTK1; gruesome in GTK2)

  Oh, right, most distributions disable non scalable fonts, so you
don't see the old Helvetica.
  To enable them, put the following in your ~/.fonts.conf or remove
the file that disables them from /etc/fonts/conf.d. In Ubuntu/Debian
that's 30-debconf-no-bitmaps.conf.

<?xml version=3D"1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
 <selectfont>
  <acceptfont>
   <pattern>
     <patelt name=3D"scalable"><bool>false</bool></patelt>
   </pattern>
  </acceptfont>
 </selectfont>
</fontconfig>

It's psychosomatic. You need a lobotomy. I'll get a saw.
