Hello, all.

I just installed RedHat 8.0 on the laptop yesterday, and I am very happy =

it (so far).  Most of you probably saw the link below posted on /. a few =

ago, but if you are using RH8.0, I recommend you take a look at it.  Ther=
e=20
are very clear instructions for installing TT fonts from Windows (or, I=20
suppose, any other source) for use by both KDE (I do not use Gnome, canno=
t=20
comment) and OpenOffice.  For the first time ever, OpenOffice looks reall=

good, font-wise.  In fact, I had imported a document from MS Word a while=

back, and some equations were munged b/c OO did not have the MS SYmbol fo=
nt=20
installed.  As of the new install, everything is fixed b/c the correct fo=
nts=20
are now there.

There are also good instructions on installing and using apt for RPMs.
