13 I just opened my web browser and ran "lsof" and these fonts are in use:
14 /usr/share/fonts/dejavu/DejaVuSans-Bold.ttf
15 /usr/share/fonts/dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf
16 /usr/share/fonts/dejavu/DejaVuSerif.ttf
17
18 (I use DejaVu fonts as my browser default)
19

22
23 /usr/share/fonts/corefonts/arial.ttf
24 /usr/share/fonts/urw-fonts/n019004l.pfb
25 /usr/share/fonts/urw-fonts/n019003l.pfb
