thanks for the feedback.
my interest/issue is really with promoting kde/linux.
* a clean install of kde3.1 & fedora core 1 renders these sites correctly (ie
without any additional fonts needing to be installed).
* a clean install of kde3.2 & fedora core 1 gives enough rendering problems as
to make konqueror unusable as a browser (even after adjusting appearance/font
parameters, see other comments on various lists).
i now have a config that works very well, but my concern would be for the
reputation of konqueror as a browser among people being introduced to
kde/linux.
regards,
greg johnson

Can I add that this site http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/ has an easy step by
step guide to get/build and install (on RPM based systems) Microsoft's
TrueType core fonts, which of course includes Arial.
The two sites Greg Johnson mentioned now dont look to bad to me, well its
improved things a bit after installing the new fonts :)
