    Hi,

    The way my box is installed, kpdf is showing really ugly, barely
    readable documents. I don't know enough of font-handling under X to
    correct this. Specifically, I have the following doubts:

    - How do I discover which font-handling method a program uses ?
    - How do I discover which fonts are installed on my box, or better put,
      which fonts are available, to each font-handling method ?
    - How do I know how fonts are translated, that is, if a program asks for
      a font, which font will be effectively used ?

    I wonder if someone could redirect me to some document(s) that could clear
    up these doubts.

    Thanks
    Paulo
