Haha we wish. But maybe Gnome could have a wizard like KDE. If I recall,
KDE does this by looking through the Windows harddrive for the fonts
directory. Or how about an option during install or the "Getting
Started/Welcome" screen to copy over the fonts from a FAT partitioned
windows? I don't think there should be any issues with getting the fonts
from a FAT partition. No NTFS barriers there.
