That answer sounds good but 'you' is a link to yast2 which I've already tried. I looked in all the modules but mainly in the 'Install and Remove Software' module. I've searched it six ways from Sunday and MS TrueType fonts are just not there.
I have a Windows system with all the fonts I want, paid for many times over. Is there a way to move them to my linux system and install them so they can be accessed in a standard way?
Yes, just zip up all of the *.ttf files. Put them in a dir. that you can access via Linux or burn the zip to a CD. Unzip the files into a temp dir in SUSE 9.0. Open up your "Control Center," choose System Administration, then Font Installer. Click on at the bottom "Administrator Mode" or the fonts won't be accessable system wide! Enter the root password. Go to the dir. where the fonts are, tag them all, the click on "Enable." After that has run, then click on "Apply." Once done, remove the *.ttf files in the temp. dir. Now, you're almost done. Open a konsole window and su to root. Run SuSEconfig to make the fonts usable by all applications.
Enjoy!

Thanks to all who responded. While I haven't actually installed the fonts yet, I believe I have enough info to succeed. If not, I'll let everyone know. :-) Don Henson
