fonts in vbulletin under arch

    I installed xorg-fonts-100dpi and xorg-fonts-75-dpi to get xboard working in arch but now vbulletin forums look awful as in the attached. I probably didn't need to install both (or either for the matter) but it needed a full reboot rather than a restart of X to stop xboard complaining about fonts so I made the mistake of installing stuff suggested by forum posts

    The vbulletin forum is a bit worse.

    Any ideas on a quick fix? I'm using fvwm as a WM for the moment.

    Answering my own query here. xboard wouldn't start without helvetica (and I didn't have the patience to define an available font) but the helvetica that firefox was displaying looked like that after install. I installed verdana with the ttf-ms-fonts package and now it looks normal.

    I'm curious now as to what font was being displayed from the options in the boards source before I installed the 100/75-dpi fonts, probably defaulting to the base sans-serif. Not curious enough to start removing things again though.
