importing fonts

[yellowdog-general@lists.terrasoftsolutions.com]

Is it easier to import Windows TTF's instead?  I can not find the fonts 
installer in KDE on YDL.  I know I've used it on Red Hat & Mandrake on 
x86 and it works great.  Haven't found it yet in YDL.  The selection of 
fonts available right now is pretty paltry and I know I'll run into 
compatibility problems down the road unless I PDF all my documents.
