RE: KDE Fonts Too Large

2004-07-16 Thread Freivald, Joseph A, GVSOL 
I had this same issue until I learned how to use defoma (well, the gui
for it, actually) to add fonts to the system.  As it turned out I only
have about 6 fonts, none of which displayed properly by default.  With
defoma I added all of my fonts from my MS partition as well as a bunch
of .deb packages and my display is MUCH nicer.

My questions are:  
1. Is there a way to automate the font recognition for defoma, and/or
can one remove defoma without destroying things so that XFS handles the
fonts natively?  
2. Why would this be a good idea/bad idea?

Also, are you running xfs? If so, the font path is set in 
/etc/X11/fs/config.

This may already have been posted, but have you tried using the KDE
Control Panel?  They have an entire section devoted to customizing
fonts.
