Thanks everyone for all the help.
I can't understand, however, since fonts are an integral part of computers and printing, why font management isn't an integral part of YaST2, or SuSE as a whole. There's no such drama installing new fonts with Mandrake or Windows, yet, SuSE 8.1 (and the new YaST2) still doesn't have a fonts manager?
SuSE Linux does do /some/ font management. I will be the first to agree that it could be better. The KDE has some font management built in, but there seem to be problems with it, or there were last time I tried to use it. I hope all my whining about fonts of late will encourage someone over there in Nüremberg to work on a more intuitive way of managing fonts. It's prbably hard to know where to focus their efforts in this regard. If the KDE is going to do it, why reinvent the wheel? If KDE font support is broken, should they work on fixing that, or on adding a font module to YaST. I kind of lean toward the latter option, but I'm not sure why. SaX might be involved in some of this as well. I can't say much about that. There is a long-standing problem using SaX with my ViewSonic G810. It's hard to believe, but for some reason, SaX has never liked this monitor, I therefore cannot use it. -- STH Hatton's Law: There is only One inviolable Law.
