Hi Simon,

KDE font installer more simple - just right mouse click on font file in
Konqueror :)

On my opinion Tkinter is more flexible and more stable than pyGtk, because
it just
translates Tcl string commands to wish interpreter. More over Tk-based
applications are
faster than pyGtk-based, at least on Gtk 2.x. Therefore "GimpToolKit" is an
excellent
choise for Gimp, but this rule is not useful for all applications :).
