Maybe we should try to fixate the actual font when used? I.e. when I select 'sans', it is recorded as Helvetica, so that other systems will use that if present. It will need to have a decent fallback to 'sans', though. > UPDATE: Repeating my test with 0.93 (they were originally done some month > ago with some 0.92 or even 0.91 ?) did show a IMO serious regression > though.
