    Many thanks folks on my 'Configuring X-Windows in Woody'. Slowely but surely
    am becoming a Debianologist but I have a long way to go.

    Through your help I have seen my first KDE desktop and was able to click
    through. Apart from the little blurring(I might have to putup with this
    until I learn some more :'( ), my fonts are too large.

    I followed suggested solutions from previous postings at this site and
    google but couldn't get desired results.

    Part output of the original /etc/X11/XF86Config-4

    Section “Files”
                  FontPath “Unix/:7 #Local font server
    # if the local font server has problem, we can fall back on these
                  FontPath “user/lib/x11/fonts/misc”
                  FontPath “user/lib/x11/fonts/cyrillic”
                  FontPath “user/lib/x11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled”
                  FontPath “user/lib/x11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled”
                  FontPath “user/lib/x11/fonts/Type1”
                  FontPath “user/lib/x11/fonts/Speedo”
                  FontPath “user/lib/x11/fonts/100dpi”
                  FontPath “user/lib/x11/fonts/75dpi”
    EndSection

    Frist I vi edited the /etc/X11/XF86Config (Kent! am still learning to use
    dpkg-configuration tool) so that the 75dpi fonts come b4 the 100dpi and
    nothing happened. Then I installed x-ttcidfont-conf and defoma and updated
    the /etc/X11/xf86config-4. My current /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 is:

    Section “Files”

                  FontPath
    “/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueTypes”
                  FontPath “user/lib/x11/fonts/misc”
                  FontPath “user/lib/x11/fonts/cyrillic”
                  FontPath “user/lib/x11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled”
                  FontPath “user/lib/x11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled”
                  FontPath “user/lib/x11/fonts/Type1”
                  FontPath “user/lib/x11/fonts/Speedo”
                  FontPath “user/lib/x11/fonts/75dpi”
                  FontPath “user/lib/x11/fonts/100dpi”
    EndSection
    Still the KDE screen remains the same. A bit blurred and large fonts.
    Soliciting your usual cooperation.
