Yes - I got the fonts installed OK, but they seem to behave differently. At least, the one I've noticed is that helvetica italicised displays in a most ugly fashion, apparently 2 sizes bigger than the standard helvetica of the same nominal point, but squashed into the same space, so as to be virtually unreadable. I'll have to experiment to see if this is an isolated case. I have used it a lot in documents, so I could change the font, but it would arise fairly often. If it's just the one font I'll probably live with it, avoiding it so far as possible. I have imported both to kde and to OO all the fonts that were on windows. They are a huge number, and I'm going to try to uninstall many of them that I will probably never use, leaving just a good all-purpose selection. Are there any that I should be aware of as 'system fonts' or the like that I must not uninstall under any circumstances? Anne
