tweak font order

This is an open topic (we've discussed it shortly with Bedhad on irc) :

-shouldn't DejaVu fonts be favored over Bitstream Vera fonts (since there has not been any vera release for a while, unlike dejavu)

- should Luxi and Nimbus be favored over Arial / Verdana / Albany AMT ? 

I don't have strong opinion for the second question (for the first one, it would seem logic to favor DejaVu but I feel free to prove me wrong).

I'm attaching mandriva patch we use for this.

Any news on this? Thanks

I'd personally recommend to have own config to change this kind of the order, because it's really hard to have the perfect config making comfortable for everyone. I'll take an action for that only when it badly affects the config shipped externally.
