Just saw this on lwn.net: http://www.linuxworld.com/site-stories/2002/0325.video.html As for fonts... there are all sorts of things you could try - look for a Howto. Maybe an upgrade to Mandrake8.2 (for kde2.2.2 and XFree86 4.2 and StarOffice 6.0 - all of which address these font issues) would be the easiest.
