Just reading your description, I'm having trouble seeing how this is different than just specifying the font in Firefox's preferences dialog, which you said you didn't think would do the right thing globally.

Hi Steve.  Unfortunately, a lot of web pages set their own fonts, and it seems many request tahoma before falling back on something like generic sans.  If I disallow web pages to choose their own fonts, then my setting will take effect, but I'm afraid a lot of web sites will be ugly with my chosen font.  If I could somehow map tahoma to liberation sans, then I think the problem would be solved....

It looks like a recent update to wine installed a wine-tahoma-fonts package. Now a lot of web sites are using tahoma by default instead of my preferred font, liberation sans. I could remove the tahoma package, but yum also wants to remove wine-fonts, which might be bad. Does anyone have a solution for firefox? Maybe an entry in userContent.css? Or should I just go ahead and remove the wine font packages? TIA. Reid
