Permissions are the same. The name of the link can be changed independently
of the original file. If you log into kde as root or another user with access
to the original file only then can you change the name of the link. You can
also 'su' in a terminal and then 'rm -f /path/of/file' and 'ln -s
/path/of/target/file /path/of/file/with/new/name'.

I had the same problem with the a.d. mono font. It is illegible. I had to
do a clean install with no kde and install the kde 2.1 beta rpms. Now that
kde 2.1 final is released the rpms will be available shortly. If upgrading
won't cure the font then only a fresh install of kde will do it Try the
upgrade first and post the results.
