------- Additional Comments From Craig.Drummond gmx net  2005-02-01 22:19 -------
The font-installer from KDE3.3 installs fonts int $HOME/.fonts. The installer 
from 3.1 and 3.2 installed into $KDEHOME/share/fonts/TrueType (truetype 
fonts) or $KDEHOME/share/fonts/Type1 (for postscript fonts). Any fonts still 
in $KDEHOME/share/fonts/TrueType are still listed - so that fonts are not 
"lost"   ($HOME/.fonts as this seems to be fontconfig's preferred font 
location)

When any new fonts are installed - which would be into $HOME/.fonts - then 
fc-cache *is* executed.

Can you confirm where a newly installed font is being placed? i.e. install a 
font, this *should* go into $HOME/.fonts Look into this directory, and have a 
look at the "fonts.cache-1" file. This file is created by fc-cache, and it 
should list the new font. (Note that fc-cache is not called immediately, and 
it may be some 5 seconds after the font is installed before it is called)

Thanks.

Craig.
