But surely this makes the job of installing fonts easier, and more
intuitive? It's the way most other OS's do it - and even GNOME will be uing fonts:/ to
install fonts (although I agree this doesn't necessarily make it a good
idea). Fonts are just files, and all a user wants to do is copy these somewhere
where they can then be used. Having to start KControl just top copy some files
seems a bit backward. I fail to see how asking users to use a file manager
to manage files is treeting konqueror as a sys admin tool. After all, you can
ftp and browse the web with konqueror - surely it should be able to manage
font files?
