I'm also against removing kcmfontinst like we have it now. It is working fine 
for me and the only idea I have for a kioslave is using it behind the scenes. 
kcmfontinst copies to font:/somewhere and the kioslave takes the settings 
from the kcm and does all the hard work. That way you have both a simple dnd 
interface and a nice kcm. The kcm would also be used for actually configuring 
the ioslave.

If you don't have your fonts in something like 
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/[TrueType,Type1,Speedo,75dpi,misc] then you have to 
configure that before, that's what preferences-dialogs are for :)
