Can someone tell me how to downgrade the urw fonts without using the rpm --force option?  I tried running this command:

rpm -Uvh ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/core/2/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/urw-fonts-2.1-7.noarch.rpm

But I was told I already have a newer version (duh).  Should I uninstall the urw-fonts package I have now, and then reinstall the one shown above?

Thanks!

NEVER do this.  Really, I mean *never*.  You tend to permanently louse
up your rpm dependencies database if you --force installs/updates.

--oldpackage is the right way to go to a lower version - and remember to
exclude the package (yum) or pin it (apt) to prevent the package coming
back again.
