My font is a TTF.

I installed it as non-root and it perfectly worked with every other application other \
than kword (including kwrite,kspread or Staroffice).

But, I also tried to install it as root. Guess what ? It totally uninstalled the \
font... There's a big problem.

However, as a simple user I could install the font because it worked with other apps. \
So, I think the problem really comes from kword.
