Well, if I were a newbie then I would probably expect that KMail asked 
me if I want to install the font as soon as I clicked on the 
attachment. Furthermore there should be an Install Font entry in the 
context menu in Konqueror (definitely) and in KMail (maybe).

BTW, I never knew (back in the days when I was still using Win) that 
fonts could be installed in Win simply by copying them to the fonts 
directory. I always used the Fonts applet from the System 
Configuration.
