Yes. That's about the conclusion another branch of this thread arrived at 
as well. (But I still think it could be considered to rename "Fonts" to 
"Screen Fonts".)

Right. (Corel even includes 1000+ of these with their bigger programs, each 
of them in an extra TrueType and a Type1 version. This is also the reason 
why I think all that grouping, activating, and deactivating could be handy. 
Just imagine someone to wade through a KWord font selection dialog with all 
this stuff actually installed and activated.)
