Can someone tell me how to downgrade the urw fonts without using the rpm --force option?� I tried running this command:

But I was told I already have a newer version (duh).��Should I uninstall the urw-fonts package I have now, and then reinstall the one shown above?
Thanks!

NEVER do this.��Really, I mean *never*.��You tend to permanently louse
up your rpm dependencies database if you --force installs/updates.
--oldpackage is the right way to go to a lower version - and remember to
exclude the package (yum) or pin it (apt) to prevent the package coming
back again.
