I just got truetype fonts installed (I'm running linux [redhat 7/8]). I'm building kde-3.1.4. (I like to build things myself ;-)) I'm using xfstt 1.6. But when I enable truetype fonts, none of the kde-3.1.4 applications run -- they all start up, but quickly crashes, the crash dialog doesn't stay up... When I disable the truetype fonts, no problem... I was going to ask the KDE folks about this... marty
