That did it, Thanks.

The first question confuses me, though, since I use Vera, the MSFT
fonts *and* other fonts.

    # dpkg-reconfigure -plow fontconfig-config
    Configuring fontconfig-config
    -----------------------------

    Select Native if you mostly use Bitstream Vera (the default
    in Debian) or any of the Microsoft fonts.  Select Autohinter
    if you mostly use other TrueType fonts.  Select None if you
    want blurry text.

      1. Native  2. Autohinter  3. None

Is "common sense" really valid?
For example, it is "common sense" to white-power racists that
whites are superior to blacks, and that those with brown skins
are mud people.
However, that "common sense" is obviously wrong.
