Konqueror fonts and Yahoo

In a fresh Debian Sid installation I see monospace no-antialiased fonts only
in some yahoo pages such as http://buzz.yahoo.com > "buzz search"
button, "Sign Out", "Help", "All", "Entertainment", "Sci/Tech" ...

I've another Sid that shows this text with Liberation.   The Konqueror web
browser fonts configuration and .fonts.conf file are identical.

Configuration: Standard Font is Liberation Sans, monospace font is Liberation
Mono.

Any idea about the difference?  Thanks :)

If I read the CSS correctly, the buttons use "font-family: verdana".

Check if there is any difference for

fc-match verdana

between the two Sid installations.

You may have to add something like this to ~/.fonts.conf:

 <alias>
 <family>verdana</family>
   <prefer>
     <family>Liberation Sans</family>
   </prefer>
 </alias>

Another possibility is to use the ttf-mscorefonts-installer package, if
you can accept having non-free (in the DFSG sense) Microsoft fonts on
your system. (This package is in "contrib".)
