true type fonts

[lostbear@softhome.net]

Hi folks, 

I have been trying to setup truetype fonts on my box. I did find good doc
when
I searched on google and did follow the instructions to the dot. save for
the simple fact that /usr/local/share/fonts/truetype is a link to
/usr/share/fints/ttfonts 

I am not sure as to how to verify if all the fonts are working. xset q 

shows /usr/share/fonts/ttfonts so I guess it there in the path. 

and /XF86Config-4 does have /usr/share/fonts/ttfonts as the first line in
the fontpath 

But how do I verfiy if the applications are are actually able use these
fonts. I did not check the list of fonts before installing the ttf fonts
from Windows 98 fonts dir, so I am cannot compare to know what was there and
what is there now. 

Another trivial question how to do I universal copy paste enabled in KDE
that is copying pasting between different applications. 

Like I try to copy the urls from konquerer to mozilla or i copy a message
that i recieved in yahoo messenger to kword and stuff. 

I would appreciate if someone could point to some docs that I can read to
set this all up. 

thank you
regards
Harshu
