Where do i start---

i have KDE, the fonts don't look right so i installed an rpm of web ms fonts, now the settings look like this
http://xs221.xs.to/xs221/07466/84ot6.png

another thing in /home/ all the writting under the folders has turned white so now can't see what folders are what.

something else web pages not load in firefox (white blank scrren)

and some more, been looking for a compiler package so i can compile some software (./configure and so on) but it's nowhere to b found, look in rpm resources and searched in the area where users install software

Doesn't look like there's anything wrong with that..

Use a terminal?

You probably want to install gcc (if you're trying to compile software written in C).

thanks for your time
i looked and gcc is installed, so i will try later to compile.

I know Linux is not easy and would never want it to be, and i'm only a few days in to setting it up as i want it.

i will stay with it

Then you can't be losing patience (or if you are, consider meeting a psychiatrist)

and if you ask me, Linux can be easy. Usually it's the user who's making things difficult.

Fedora is not a distribution that tries too hard to be easy on new users.
The fonts-thing... You are trying to tweek things while you should be focusing on... well things that are actually worth doing.
