You also need to have Fonty Python installed. If you do that with the Gnome Font Viewer, all it's going to do is just copy it to your .fonts directory anyways.
It is normal to have all of those font folders. If you look at the output of the font config cache command you did, you will see that most of the fonts that were cached were from /usr/share/fonts/....
Yeah, if you want to do it the same way I suggested, you would need to create a .fonts folder in your home directory first before you can place a symbolic link inside it, e.g.:
mkdir .fonts
What...
To rebuild the font cache, open a terminal and enter the command:
sudo fc-cache -fv
You are definitely not running version 11 of X. X itself is sometimes called X11. Probably that's what you came across. The command for finding what version you have of X is
X -version

Are you using fakeroot instead of sudo? You need to use sudo to install packages. Fakeroot is primarily for creating packages.

If your Windows drive is mounted in Ubuntu, instead of copying, you could just make a link from your Windows fonts folder to your .fonts folder. Assuming you are in your home directory, the command...

I think the font in your Windows screenshot is Arial. If you install the "ttf-mscorefonts-installer" package, it will get you several common web fonts like Arial, Times New Roman, etc.
Doesn't update-alternatives just tell the system where to find Sun's Java once it's installed? It seems like you would still have to go back to Sun's website and download a new .bin when a new update...
A simpler alternative to this is to create a directory in your home directory called ".fonts" and place the downloaded fonts there. Then (to update the system's cache of fonts), use a console to run...
For good... or until the next version of Java comes out. ;) It might be better for a newbie to just install from the repos.
You could install the ubuntu-desktop package. That will get you all of the themes and applications that come with Ubuntu, basically you would have both Ubuntu and Kubuntu installed on your machine.
The problem is that you have multiple installation programs open at once. For example, maybe you have Synaptic open and apt running in a terminal. Just try closing everything except the program you...
Yes, installing from Synaptic is the best way to go. Acrobat Reader is actually in the partner repo though.
What do you mean by "read only"?
You might try resetting the menus for your user. That should also reset all of the file associations. Right click on the K Menu and select "Menu Editor." Then do "Edit" > "Restore to System Menu."
As I stated previously, that icon indicates widgets that you have used in the past but aren't using now. Add a widget that doesn't have an hourglass and then delete it. It will then have an hourglass.

The PDF comes in a ZIP. Maybe have your friend try downloading it again. It sounds like a bad download.

Nodoka! Fedora's default theme, it comes in the package "gtk2-enginges-nodoka" and the matching window borders are in "metacity-themes." When I was using Gnome I always kept going back to that and...
