Humm, I tried that, I made the file .fonts.conf, and put the lines

<match target="pattern" >
  <test name="family" qual="any" >
   <string>Helvetica</string>
  </test>
  <edit mode="assign" name="family" >
   <string>Nimbus Sans</string>
  </edit>
 </match>

in it, but this didn't seem to change anything.
