How can I verify that the FontConfig library is _really_ recursive
considering that /etc/fonts/fonts.conf in Slackware contains entries for _all_ the subdirectories?

I'd also like to know what program or script runs when you click on Font Installer.
I cannot seem to bring it up in the Menu Editor.

I never saw that button until by chance I opened the CC from the K menu
instead of from the "wrench" icon.
When you open the CC from the "wrench" icon there is no such "Administrator Mode" button
but when I copied over the fonts a window popped up asking for the root password similiar
to what happens when I click "Administrator Mode".
