You can debug this with:

$ FC_DEBUG=1 kedit

That should spew copious cryptic output about what font patterns are 
presented to fontconfig to select fonts, and what fonts those patterns end 
up matching.  Even more copious output can be had with FC_DEBUG=3.

It's hard to say why kedit ended up with a hideous non-fixed font for 
cyrillic, most likely it didn't specify monospaced in it's pattern or may 
have overspecified the font name in some other way.
