[Bug 250917] [NEW] On a default install of Ubuntu 8.04.1, the generic sans-serif font is broken

[Michael Gauthier]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mozilla-firefox

The vertical kerning of the default sans-serif font looks terrible
(bordering on comical or unusable) in Firefox. This font is often used
as a fallback if the Microsoft core fonts are not installed.

For an example, see: http://www.listentofeist.com/ on a stock Ubuntu
8.04.1 installation. I've attached a screenshot illustrating the problem
in Firefox 3 on Ubuntu 8.04.1.
