definitely not. Nimbus is the best free font for printing, so it should stay the default for applications like OOo.
Our default font DejaVu is metric incompatible with fonts like Times, Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, Times Roman, so every time one of these fonts is missing (i.e. in the default installation), we have to have a fallback font, which displays accurately. If you know of a better metric choice, please propose one. DejaVu and Bitstream Vera are not.
