 I found the a few site on setting up te true-type windows fonts, but this 
covers only .ttf. Is it any different to do .fon fonts?

 Anti-aliasing fonts and icons (through KDE), do I need it? What is the 
purpose? And if it's a good thing,where to find simple info? The technical 
advice on many subjects often leaves me bewildered:(

Also noted that my system does not power down on halt. I changed my prefs in 
KDE to use /sbin/poweroff instead of /sbin/halt. After reading the man pages 
on poweroff, halt and reboot, I am left even more confused. The man pages say 
that when halt or poweroff is called from other than runlevels 0 or 6, it 
invokes shutdown instead. I have tried,as root and user to /sbin/halt -p, 
/sbin/poweroff and just plain poweroff, all ending with the system going 
through the halt process and stopping with the message : Power Down, without 
actually killing the power. Looking in my /etc/init.d/ I see the halt and 
reboot scripts, but I am lacking the equivalent for poweroff. Is this the 
problem, and if so, how do I remedy this?

I know this is probably basic for the list, but i'm trying:(
