Hi Steve,

This is a general system question, not related to kde-pim, and should be=20
directed either to red hat or kde-linux@kde.org.

But I will give a shot anyway:

Linux has five man toolkits, each with their own configuration sheme:

Qt-KDE
Gtk1-Gnome
Gtk2-Gnome
Mozilla
OpenOffice

=46onts configuration in one subsystem does not affect the other. KDE is=20
addressing this issues, as you can see in the integrative work:
http://dot.kde.org/1073599985/    <=3D Gtk integration
http://dot.kde.org/1073557624/    <=3D OpenOffice integration

But today, you still have to use Mozilla to set up Mozilla fonts, the gnome=
=20
control center to set up GTK fonts, and the OpenOffice configuration to set=
=20
up OpenOffice fonts. KDE Control Center sets all Qt-KDE apps fonts only.

Yes, it is a font hell. But I am sure it will be better in future Linux=20
releases, as there are people working on it.

Cheers,

Carlos Woelz
