Can someone tell me how to downgrade the urw fonts without using the rpm --force option? I tried running this command:<br>
<br>
<pre>rpm -Uvh <a href="ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/core/2/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/urw-fonts-2.1-7.noarch.rpm">ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/core/2/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/urw-fonts-2.1-7.noarch.rpm</a><br><br><span>But I was told I already have a newer version (duh). Should I uninstall the urw-fonts package I have now, and then reinstall the one shown above?<br><br>Thanks!</span><br></pre>
