Description:
After installing chromium it failed to start. Running it from a terminal it gave the following error:

FATAL:gfx/font_skia.cc(131)] Check failed: tf. Could not find any font: Helvetica, sans.

To get around this problem I installed ttf-ms-fonts, but I'm guessing I could also install an xorg package which contained sans?

Steps to reproduce:
* Installed X11 using: pacman -S xorg
* Installed gnome using: pacman -S gnome gdm
* Installed chromium using: pacman -S chromium
* Open a terminal and type: chromium
BANG: ERROR (See above ^)
* pacman -S ttf-ms-fonts
* Run chromium and it now loads!
This task depends upon

Ooops sorry! I did a search on Chromium and didn't spot this one! :S
