I saw the article on whatsup I think, and started to d/l fonts and install
them. Both on RH8.0 and MDK9.0.
Somehow most of the fonts were not usable in kde3/gtk(1/2).
I did not investigate it too much, as all I saw were squares.
In rh I put the fotns in ~/.fonts.
In mdk I did ttmkfdir - fonts.dir; chkcfontpath --add `pwd` and edited
/etc/X11/Xftconfig
Any one else tested?
