Hmm.

I don't browse SMB shares. Mutt forever, though in an office I would
probably prefer Evo's calendar features.

Okay, mutt *and* apt-get forever. ;-)

I'm not sure what this means, except that it sounds like #2.

KDEPrint is CUPS-based.

Installed 'em.

Okay, you got me. I don't think Debian has a kdesu-like facility to load
fonts into /usr/share/fonts, but I did just see that Konqueror loads an
icon for TTF and PFB fonts that is a sample of the font face. I had no
idea this existed, thanks for making me point this out to myself. ;-)
