But now QT Assistant's fonts are broken!

I have everything related to Gideon, KMail, etc., working with my KDE and QT, but now the one thing that was working is broken. The QT Assistant now displays boxes where the fonts should be. I have a backup install of qt that works. I'm betting if I download the additional QT stuff and compile it, it will work. At this point what I want to know is what is causing this? There's something about the way SuSE compiled these bits. I used the same RPMs they provide and compiled them here to create a working install of what was broken in their bits. This is weird. STH
