well, I have found a "solution" of sorts... I have deleted all the Helvetica .tff files from
~/.fonts/ /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ Now the webpages skip past Helvetica and jump straight to the sans-serif family of fonts (which are installed correctly). I will wait for the distribution update and then try to install Helvetica again... thanks all! Matt
