(3) So that you will have font support in X/KDE, as root, change directories to /usr/share/fonts and for each font subdirectory there run:

mkfontscale <dirname> mkfontdir -e /usr/share/fonts/encodings/ <dirname>

(Normal font directories include: 100dpi 75dpi TTF Type1 URW artwiz-fonts cyrillic encodings local misc truetype util) Note: you may not have all of these.

You can do it in one shot with this (pasted in the command line):

for in $(ls); do \ mkfontscale $i; \ mkfontdir -e /usr/share/fonts/encodings/ $i; \ done

Just for the record, I don't think I've ever had to do step 3 on any of my Arch boxes. DR
