Linux has really evolved! Actually, once you create the fonts directory
(make sure that its permission is at least r--r--r--), you can further
use a Red Hat utility tool called chkfontpath to finish the rest. What
can I say--I am speechless.
When APIC is finalized, and someone figures a way to do direct audio CD
copying, I just don't see how Microsoft Windows can compete against
Linux in the consumer desktops arena.

While we are at it (i.e., discussion about fonts), I seem to vaguely
remember that there was a font installation tool in Red Hat 7.3

I think you should be able to copy the fonts to /usr/share/fonts or to
~/.fonts
Any fontconfig enabled programs will have access to them then.
For programs not using fontconfig yet, you will have to install
freetype-utils,
create a directory somewhere, put your fonts in that directory, run
ttmkfdir > fonts.dir, add the relevant line to your XFree86 config
file, and then restart X (or xset +fp the directory). I don't know of
any graphical utilities for installing fonts, but I wouldn't be
surprised if there is one.
