Hello my friends, though i am happy with Arch and my fonts looks great, in firefox 7 those pages that use helvetica looks kind of strange.
This is how it looks in Chromium
This is how it looks in Firefox
I've installed w7-fonts, and the next code in the .fonts.conf
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="rgba" >
<const>rgb</const>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="hinting">
<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle">
<const>hintslight</const>
</edit>
</match>
</fontconfig>

That's not Helvetica in the second image. Looks more like Bera sans or Deja Vu Sans.
What do you have in Firefox under Preferences > Content > Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Sans Serif?

It's worth a try. You can always change it back.

Unfortunately many Websites are defined to use Windows fonts ... to make them look nicer, you can install ttf-ms-fonts and ttf-vista-fonts from the AUR repositories

That was the first thing i did. Though i have installed W7 fonts which are better.
Looking better, that font is Helvetica neue... so, any clues?

I use in ~/.fonts.conf
<match target="pattern" name="family">
<test name="family" qual="any">
<string>Helvetica</string>
</test>
<edit binding="strong" mode="prepend" name="family">
<string>Arial</string>
</edit>
</match>
$ fc-match helvetica
arial.ttf: "Arial" "Normal"
