+blinKen uses a special handwriting font called Steve that is in the
+fonts directory to show the status text. If this font is not currently installed
+on the target system, on first run blinKen uses the fonts:/ ioslave to copy it
+to the user's fonts location.
+
+This can cause problems, because if the program
+is used by 100 users there will be 100 copies of the font, one for each user.
+
+To solve that we suggest making a package with "Some Juicy Fonts"
+(http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/sjfonts) that includes the Steve font
+and make the blinKen package depend on it.
+
+If you do not want/cannot do that, please make blinKen depend on
+having kdebase installed as the fonts:/ ioslave is there.
