You could try installing Ubuntu instead, you'd be able to manage that better.

Try installing the font packages from the Slackware disc.  If that fails, reinstall FTW!

Err, topaz is right. If you don't even know how to install fonts, consider using a more simple distro, or actually looking at the links you found on Google.

Slackware is just fine to start out with, so there's no real reason to point him to another distro.

Not ready for Slackware, and almost not ready for Ubuntu.

What's the purpose of the link?

And personally, anyone is ready for anything as long as they're willing to start from scratch.  This is, of course, in respect to linux, but can be applied to just about everything else there is in the world.
