[....] I can't find the setting for the desktop icon alignment with KDE.

To set the desktop icon alignment in KDE, right-click on the desktop, select "Desktop Settings," and choose "Manual"
sorting to arrange icons as you prefer.
Additionally, ensure that the "Lock Icons" option is unchecked to allow for free placement of icons.

All the fonts are too large. How do I make them smaller?

To make all the fonts smaller in KDE Sparky, open the System Settings, go to the "Appearance" section, and then select "Fonts"
From there, you can adjust the font size to your preference.

When I have Firefox open in Sparky, its appearance isn't as good as windows or other Linux distros I have used. I wonder if there are fonts missing that are altering its appearance. How can I fix this?

Using the following fonts:







I don't have the problem you are talking about:

Introduction / How Do

Hola a todos How Do
I am have been a news person, a housing tech, an English tutor for people entering the country, a general rabble rouser (had to check that spelling) and musician.
Using Linux of practically every variety I'm always checking out the new.  Thankfully it adds choice to the OS world.
It takes away a bit away from the oligarchy in a world which is increasingly...
Exactly that.  Seriously.  Does anyone remember the reason why we broke away from England?  Was it to become a democracy? Or a kingdom?  Ah, enough jokes for one day.
Take my president (king?), please!

Linux fulfills so many common sense needs.  I seem to remember my brother saying 'I don't need an operating system where I will have to go running to someone to figure everything out'.  Linux appears to be far easier in general to install with usually less need to seek out mysterious drivers and such. Updates usually don't take so long as to be leaving me pulling out the hair on my head wondering if my computer has stopped functioning all together.

Well, duh, I'm obviously playing to the right crowd to make such comments.

Anyway, on with the play!
