Yes I did, but this issue existed up from the first boot of core2. I tried to install ms-fonts and experienced the same problem as whith core 1: After installing ms-fonts several web-pages are shown in a ugly font which is not configured whether in KDE-conrolcenter nor in konqueror or mozilla. In core2 this font clearly shows stairs and causes my eyes to hurt. Removing ms-fonts made this issue disappear in core1 in core2 not. Can you explain the difference in mozilla-settings between proportional, serif, sans-serif, cursive, fixed fonts? When is one of those specific fonts used? Why are there only so few fonts available for "proportional" in mozilla and for "fixed" in KDE-control-center? And why are my fonts under /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF marked active and visible in KDE-controlcenter|system administration but are not electable in KDE-controlcenter|appearance|fonts nor in apps? This is the same in core1 and core2. I install/uninstall fonts simply by moving them to /usr/share/fonts and make them available to KDE in KDE-Control. Bye, Patrice
