Yeah, That was my other solution: screenshots. It was getting to be a |
| 22 |
pain in the arse, but apparently not quite enough of a pain as it took |
| 23 |
me two years to finally get around to fixing it. |

What made me realize what was happening was looking at the source for |
| 26 |
bugs.g.o and seeing it was asking for Helvetica. I noticed it wasn't |
| 27 |
installed, then I googled for how to search fonts which led me to |
| 28 |
fc-match, which then led to googling Helvetica for gentoo, which led to |
| 29 |
liberation-fonts. I didn't even know you could use eselect to toggle |
| 30 |
font groups until yesterday, and I've been using gentoo since 2003... I |
| 31 |
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 |
| 34 |
old thing I forgot because of this new thing I learned... sigh. |
