Hello,

Yes, KDE-3.2-rc1 uses Qt-3.2.1; KDE-3.2.1 uses Qt 3.3.1. The two Qt
versions are both currently installed.

Hmm, why is this relevant? The problem is the fonts that FontConfig
*is* finding, but that KDE-3.2.1 can't use.

There are fewer files in /usr/local/share/fonts than FontConfig reports.
I was assuming this was due to Bold/Italic variants within single font
files...

Interesting. I got the fonts on a webpage collection of free fonts; I
would not be suprised if they were designed for Windows use. However,
*all* of these fonts work perfectly under KDE-3.2-rc1/Qt-3.2.1. Does
this mean there is a regression bug in the font handling code in
Qt-3.3.1? Is this a known problem?
I also find it interesting that when I point konqueror-3.2.1 to
"fonts:/System/", it can preview all of these fonts perfectly. The
Font Install KCM can also.
thanks,
Jason
