Do you mind making a listing of all of them and passing that along to the
list? I haven't found too many (haven't looked real hard either), but am
getting ready to restart my Xserver (it's been up almost 300 days) and
want to add true type fonts as well as take advantage of the hints from a
fellow RedHat engineer that Kevin pointed us at.

for i in fonts/*zip
do
	unzip $i
done

That'll grab everything that fits fonts/*zip and loop through hitting
unzip with one filename at a time. Replace "fonts/*zip" with commands in
backticks, e.g. `find / -name "*.conf"`, and use other commands like "rm
-f $i" for hours of entertainment ;-). [1][2]

[1] No, don't run this. It'll ruin your day :).
[2] In the case of find it's easier to do the whole thing with find. 'find
/ -name "*.conf" -exec rm -f {} \;", but again don't run this :).
