The installer will configure X (XFree86), XRender, (anti-aliasing), and <application +>Ghostscript</application +> (printing), for any TrueType (<literal role="extension" +>.ttf</literal +>) and Type1 (<literal role="extension" +>.pfa</literal +>, <literal role="extension" +>.pfb</literal +>) fonts that you care to install - bitmap (<literal role="extension" +>.bdf</literal +>, <literal role="extension" +>.pcf</literal +>, <literal role="extension" +>.snf</literal +>), and Speedo (<literal role="extension" +>.spd</literal +>), fonts will also be installed, but these can only used by X.</para> + +<para +>When the module is started by a normal (non-root) user, then the settings will refer to their personal configuration, and installed fonts will be available to them only. For <systemitem class="username" +>root</systemitem +>, the settings will usually refer to the system-wide configuration, and as such any installed fonts should be available to all users.</para> +<para +>If you install fonts as a normal user and notice the fonts used for display (and for print preview) do not match those of the printed output - then you should re-install the fonts system-wide (i.e. as <systemitem class="username" +>root</systemitem +>). This can occur because when printing the output is sent to a printer queue - and when the system comes to actually send the information to the printer, it is running as a different user (usually <systemitem class="username" +>lp</systemitem +>), and cannot find the font files.</para> +<para +>To install fonts, simply select the "Add Fonts" button - this will produce a file dialogue, then just locate the fonts to install. Likewise, to remove a font, simply highlight a font and press the "Delete" button.</para> +<para +>Fonts may also be "disabled" - this basically just "hides" the font file, so that the font system cannot "see" it. To enable/disable fonts, just highlight the required fonts, and select the "Enable" or "Disable" button. </para> +<sect2 id="using-konqueror"> +<title +>Using Konqueror</title> +<para +>You can also use Konqueror to install fonts via drag-and-drop.
