I would recommend installing the MS Core fonts anyway

I can do that.

if you tend to use them a lot but that's only a few fonts, no where 

near 7000. Additionally I'm not sure you'd want to install all 7000, 

that could slow things down a bit.

I only install the ones I intend to use. I make my own anniversary, 

birthday and holiday cards. When I make cards I spend a few hours 

looking through fonts.

I found a howto here: 

http://vietunicode.sourceforge.net/howto/fontlinux.html 

I bookmarked this page, thanks for finding and posting it for me.

I would recommend creating a path somewhere similar such as 

/usr/share/fonts/myfonts

I think keeping them separate is a good idea.

I would restart the font server properly: service xfs restart or 

systemctl restart xfs.service depending on what version of Fedora you use

I will do this too

Thanks so much for your reply.
