William,
This is just one possibility so here goes. SuSE has a semi-bad habit of
putting stuff in a strange place. KDE and Mozilla go in /opt and docs
go in /usr/share/doc and many others including some libs. I'd do an rpm
-ql on the packages and find out if they modified the paths to where
things go. I didn't see the fonttastic server in the SuSE disc set so I
assume it came from corel. being pre-made, It may be looking for RedHat
paths. You may need to create some symbolic links. It may not be an
incompatibility issue....just a misguided path. :^) just a guess....
