--- Comment #4 from Akira TAGOH <tagoh at redhat.com> ---
If we prefer Nimbus Sans L for Helvetica alternatives, it should be fixed in
urw-fonts with adding the above config to the package. or adding the following
to xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-100dpi package:

<fontconfig>
  <selectfont>
    <rejectfont>
      <glob>/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/*.gz</glob>
    </rejectfont>
  </selectfont>
</fontconfig>

if those fonts are totally useless for applications using fontconfig.
Either way, I expect to see the fix in the package other than fontconfig
because it avoids frequent updates of fontconfig for non-binary updates and
unnecessary updates for those who don't install the problematic font packages.

I'm not sure how much rejecting X11 fonts affects other applications.
reassigning to urw-fonts at this point.
