Because the clients may be dual-boot Linux/Windows boxes and may have some fonts on them that the user of that particular box wants to access. It would be nice if that user "contributed" them to the server for all to use, but a) that is a much more complicated problem (i.e. how does drakfont on a client "send" fonts to the server to be installed in /usr?), and b) they might be licensed only to that user to use. > Since > the fonts are installed in /usr, mounting /usr from the server is > enough to get the new fonts? Yes, if they are collected from all the clients. The clients are much more likely to be dual-boot with Windows partitions that the server will be. b. -- Brian J. Murrell
