Same goes for fonts from any other sources, including DejaVu and others that you don't care to repeatedly upgrade that are available in .zip or .tgz archives.
What I'd really like is for KDE* not to "depend" on the huge misc-fixed bitmap font package that seems to be "upgraded" at least every month, and do the same for it. I never use misc-fixed longer than it takes to deselect it and select Droid Sans Mono as monospace in first open of personal settings, before first open of Konsole. I can't imagine anyone preferring misc-fixed to any of the scalable fonts installed by default via anything resembling a standard openSUSE installation.
Agreed, the only fly in this ointment is ~/.fonts is deprecated :( Still works in 13.1, but who knows when it is going away? From /etc/fonts/fonts.conf: <!-- Font directory list --> <dir>/usr/share/fonts</dir> <dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts</dir> <dir>/opt/kde3/share/fonts</dir> <dir>/usr/local/share/fonts</dir> <dir prefix="xdg">fonts</dir> <!-- the following element will be removed in the future --> <dir>~/.fonts</dir> ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ -- David C.
