hmmm something went right now... this is what i have done...

further to the earlier steps like deleting ln -s folders...
then import fonts....
then I copy the whole folder into usr/share/fonts/

now i select the fonts, and it worked... hmmm strange... cos at first i import the fonts which does not show any fonts in the selection...
ln -s folder shows fonts but do not apply to all fonts globally...
if not mistaken, earlier version not able to also apply fonts globally when made copy into the usr/share/fonts/

thats my share... for you... cheers...

Anyway.. love your work...
