Again, this is already done for us by fontconfig when presented with the
ASCII sequence "H e l v e t i c a". There's no reason for our font stack to
do it unless some freely-licensed font looks better than the non-free font;
also it will work against the brave and few who follow steps like
http://www.binarytides.com/gorgeous-looking-fonts-ubuntu-linux/ to adjust
the appearance of those well-known names.
