FONTS (How to make Mozilla fonts available to Kate?)

[Luciano Moreira - ig]

Extending original question:

PLEASE, Can you ALL explain better about fonts on X ?  I'm very much
confused
I and my friends have the following problems with fonts:

MAIN QUESTION:
Why usually KDE fonts have bad look (they're very bold and have non-regular
look) ?

OTHERS (main questions):
How and where it is installed ? (any etc file ?)
What are they names ? (commom names)
What is the apps usually used to manage fonts ?

Thank you very much for anything that help us,

Luciano
