Bugzilla Bug 184790

Viewing a webpage in Firefox (and other applications I suspect) which wants the
Tahoma bold variant now looks really bad as it tries to put the font down twice
as an ugly shadow. This is not Firefox's fault I suspect, but could be fixed by
taking Tahoma out if the the real bold variant cannot be included in the
corefonts package.

I only noticed it after the upgrade to r3.

BTW, if anyone knows of a way to make Firefox substitute another font for
Tahoma as a workaround it would be great.

See the following Ubuntu bug/comment for a related solution

Steps to Reproduce:
1.View post subject headings on this page
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=431063

Tahoma is chosen as the variant with bold enabled and it looks bad

Expected Results:  
A real tahoma bold, or failing that a replacement with a real bold font

er, that comment says nothing about a solution :P

Unfortunately there is no free version of Tahoma Bold available.  I've removed
Tahoma from coreutils-1-r4.

Thanks for pointing this out.
