Binary package hint: wine1.2
As originally discussed at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wine1.2/+bug/412195 :
wine1.2 recommends ttf-tahoma-replacement. Synaptic, the Ubuntu Software Centre and other tools install recommended packages by default. As a consequence, any website which specifies "Tahoma" as a font will be rendered differently in Firefox and possibly other browsers. This is an unexpected behaviour for users who do not anticipate that, or understand why, installing Wine would cause this change.
One possible solution is to direct the default web browser, or all fontconfig-aware software, to ignore ttf-tahoma-replacement — for example, by configuration described at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wine1.2/+bug/412195/comments/44 (and attached).
