Mandrake 9.1
Kde only.
kword with Helvetica font setting.
The compose window character setting is OK,
but in print preview and the actual printed document the character
spacing is too close.
How to fix ?

No idea how to go about it, can anyone help me,

[root@localhost root]# xset fp /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/drakfont/ttf
xset: bad font path element (#56), possible causes are:
Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions
Directory missing fonts.dir
Incorrect font server address or syntax
I cannot understand this, both ,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/drakfont/Type1
and,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/drakfont/ttf
have a /fonts.dir for each, so ?
I have set permissions to all users,
so what gives ?
