Regarding the problem that I reported a couple days ago
(all KDE fonts suddenly being set to ledfixed, and not being
able to be changed back from the Control Panel)....

As suggested by Alan Shoemaker, I logged out, opened console
window and deleted the .kde directory from the relevant
user directory.  Upon restarting KDE, the fonts are back
to normal.  However, of course, much of my configuration
info is also now gone (you do not have to delete the
.kderc file, though, that has no effect).

However, this problem does not appear to be as isolated as
I had hoped.  I had it re-occur for root on the one installation
and then last night I had it occur in a user account on a
different machine.  In both cases, simply starting a KDE
application caused it:  KWord in one case, Konqueror the other.

Clearly, not an acceptable situation for using KDE 2.

I also note that there is clearly something in the .kde subdirectory
that is related to this.  Not only does deleting it (and letting
KDE recreate it) fix the problem, I had saved one from when I was
having the font trouble, and mv'ing it back as .kde causes the
ledfixed font problem to come back.  I have not been able to
isolate what is wrong, though.  I did a find/grep looking for
ledfixed, led, and font, and did not see anything relevant.
Very frustrating.
