Are you using truetype fonts? If so you can copy the files from your
desktop to your laptop. On my Redhat system they are stored in
/usr/share/fonts/ttf but I don't know where they are on SUSE.
After copying change to the font directory and run:
# ttmkfdir -o fonts.scale
# mkfontdir
Add the new fonts to the system and restart the X font server. On
RH (YMMV)
# chkfontpath -add /usr/share/fonts/ttf
# service xfs restart
You have to restart the X-Server for the new fonts to be seen.
I have never done anythigng but a little sendmail on SUSE so the above
may be a little different for your system.
