I thought I'd made a post about this before, but perhaps I didn't. If
you're using a Linux build that uses Xft (or whatever it is that makes the
fonts look nice), I think by editing your /etc/fonts/local.conf file (or
your user copy), you can change the order. I'm not quite sure what the
changes necessary are, but you could try studying
/etc/fonts/fonts.{conf,dtd}. There has to be some other,
platform-independent way, but that worked for me when disabling Times (New
Roman) and Helvetica/Arial (which for some reason look a _lot_ worse on a
laptop running X than a desktop running Windows).
