Public bug reported: Binary package hint: kdebase
1. Get a .ttf font (you can download a free zipped one here http://www .ms-studio.com/FontSales/anonymous.html) 2. Right click the font in konqueror and choose Actions->Install Font. 3. KDE will prompt if you want to personally install the font or install it system wide. Choose system wide. 4. You will be prompted for a username and password, with the username field filled in as root. This is a holdover from KDE being run on distros that don't use sudo -- it should just prompt for the user's password. ** Affects: kdebase (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Kubuntu Edgy font installer not sudo aware https://launchpad.net/bugs/69631 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
