This is a procedure for installing WP 8.1 (the one from Corel Linux) in 
Fedora 7. 
Credit goes to James R. Tyrer from the WP8/Linux news group for figuring 
out the font installation issue and the fontmapping script.  (I'm not 
sure what the script does, but my WP8.1 install seems to work and print 
OK.  I'm looking for a compatible imwheel RPM to enable scrolling.)

You will need to convert the WP8.1 Deb's to TAR; don't bother trying to 
install as RPM's.

As root:
1.  Untar WP packages in /
2.  Edit /etc/ld.so.conf.d/qt-i386.conf  > add /usr/lib/wp8/wpbin  > run 
command: ldconfig
3.  Symlink: ln -s /lib/ld.2.6.so /lib/ld-linux.so.1
4.  Symlink: ln -s /usr/share/X11/locale /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale
5.  mkfontscale -e /usr/share/X11/fonts/encodings -f 90
6.  mkfontdir -e /usr/share/X11/fonts/encodings
7.  /usr/lib/wp8/shbin10/wpfi
8.  Run JRT's script: txfm.sh  (ensure execute bit is set)
