just fine...I never used this before but it's really cool. Now I
know exactly my elevation, latitude and longitude and the image
is much newer than the one at Google Maps.

Try it. You'll like it.
I do like it... but, what's up with the font? I don't have the
Vera Sans font installed, and somehow, on my Suse 10.0 system, I'm
having difficulties installing them. I tried copying the font
files in the font folder in konqueror, but that doesn't seem to
have any effect...? Did anyone have success with the fonts?

Thanks,

Download the font from the site suggested. Extract the tar file to
a folder. Open KDE control center, click on system administration -
font installer, click the administrator mode button, click add
fonts, Then browse to the folder you extracted the font you
downloaded, add the font.
I did that, and (I double checked) I do have the fonts installed.
However, Google Earth still complains that I don't, and displays
everything in a tiny, almost unreadable font.

Hi
Just a thought, I have done the font optimization from the following
link;

http://en.opensuse.org/Optimal_Use_of_Fonts_on_SuSE

Maybe that would help?
