I believe you've run into a known issue...but I don't have the bugzilla handy at the moment. I think it is hanging due to a need to download and install a gpg-key. To verify/fix the issue. In a terminal (konsole) run, as root, "yum update". > Question 2): I have a font I downloaded in my downloads folder.

How to I get rid of this > nuisance? Sounds like you are trying to "delete" it from the Font Viewer program. I've not used that, but it sounds as if the "delete" is meaning to delete an "installed" font but not the downloaded font file. Simply delete the file from the command line in a terminal window (konsole) or in the GUI, Dolphin. > > Question 3): I am a writer, and am halfway through my next book.

I don't believe what you are seeing should be considered "normal". But I don't have anything to add at this time. I also don't have any input on the #4 question. -- A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof was to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools. -- Douglas Adams in "Mostly Harmless
