I have done two installs of 7.2 on two machines, and
have encountered several problems (e.g., printer setup
during install never produces working printing).
However, I now have a rather serious problem with fonts
in KDE on one install, and wondered if anyone might have
a suggestion....

Here's what happened:  after booting up for the first
time, was doing some file browsing (as root) and Konqueror
hung so that I was forced to do a reset (no response to
ctrl-alt-x's).  When I came back up, all looked fine until
I went into the KDE Control Center.  It opened using a huge,
weird font, which caused the windows to extend outside the desktop.
Finally found (by going into LookandFeel | Fonts), that
KDE is showing all its fonts as now set to ledfixed--and
actually using these fonts.  (This is for the root account.)

I tried resetting them from the control panel, but this has
not had any effect whatsoever (doing Apply has no effect, doing
OK also has no effect, and if you go back into Fonts after having
done an OK, all the fonts are reset to ledfixed.)

I poked around in config files, but in .kderc I find exactly
the fonts I want being listed (e.g., helvetica).  These are
not the fonts being used, however.  I have not been able to
find any reference to ledfixed in any of root's files.

The other user account functions just fine, so this is something
screwed up with KDE in root.  So there has got to be some config
file where this strange ledfixed font is written.  I have not found
it, however, and I do not understand why the Control Panel will not
allow me to change the fonts and repair it.

Any ideas on how to fix??  KDE is not usable right now for root.

Thanks,
Norm Carver
