 we;ll the subject line says it all, how do I get RID

 I really hate 'ledfixed" how do I remove this awful font 
 from my system permanently?
 
 Please help soon, I can't make good use of my
 mandrake with the apps going way off the screen
 and making themselves generally un-manageable.

They didn't just take up residence, you probably changed your time from 24 hour
to 12 hour right? 
I am not using 7.2 now but when I did, all I needed to do was change charset
back to "unknown" and it would go back to normal. Thats the charset in the
adjust time thing on the task bar

I did not see any such way to switch from
24 hr to 12, tho I did it anyway, but how I do
not know, I just went in and totally deleted the
led-fixed font file totally.

if you are dual booting try using DrakFont to get some true type fonts
from windows.  Heck, try pointing Drakfont at a windows CD if you don't
dual boot.  It might work I haven't tried that yet
