The system I am talking about is a headless station, where no window manager of any kind is installed. Just some gui applications are called remotely. Since we figured out that the problem was a missing font, there is no real issue for us any more, but others might have to walk the same road. The applications themselves already have a dependency on qt. But qt itself (at least without fonts) seg faults (ex. qtconfig). If all font packages would not just provide themselves but some kind of virtual font package, it would be easy for the applications or even qt itself to include such a dependency and therefor not seg faulting any more (which can be tough to debug).
