I have had nightmares with stuff not working. It has probably improved a
lot since my last install.

I recall issues with font paths not being picked up, fonts not being
cached, true type fonts simply not working.

never had problems with fonts in openSUSE
and i find it "easy" to install or change fonts in KDE / openSUSE


it all "just works" on my set up now. But I'm not going to pretend it
all worked out of the box because it certainly did not and for a new
user from Windows I'm not so sure if "easy" is the correct term.

oh i see,
that's correct
