Bug#236585: kdm most likely should NOT use Helvetica fonts

[Andreas Mohr <andi@rhlx01.fht-esslingen.de>]

Package: kdm
Version: 4:3.2.1-1

/etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc defaults to using Helvetica fonts for some stu^Hrange
reason.

a) Helvetica fonts are not Open Source
b) at least Debian (and Linux in general, it seems) is having two he**s of a
problem with proper Helvetica installation (see Google Groups for plenty of
evidence):
if you use AA, KDE (or to be exact: Qt) doesn't list the type1 Helvetica font,
resulting in choosing an EXTREMELY ugly font for kdm display (A.D. MONO).
People sometimes recommend configuring the system to use Arial for every
Helvetica font, since that one is more available (and actually available as a
TTF in msttcorefonts)

So either kdm should get rid of the extremely problematic Helvetica (there
hopefully is a suitable replacement for this font, right?) or proper Helvetica
font replacement mapping should be configured in a DEFAULT Debian install
(I'd guess the latter, but that really needs to happen).

I guess the kdm change would be an upstream issue, though.

Thanks,
