In /etc/fonts/suse-post-user.conf I have the following entries as the first few at each main groups:
serif
Times New Roman Thorndale AMT DejaVu Serif ...
sans-serif
Arial Albany AMT Verdana ...
monospace
Courier New Consolas Andale Mono
Are all 3 of those in the sans-serif list actually installed? If not, something else lower in the list is being used for /etc/sysconfig Editor. Likely #s 4-5 are DejaVu Sans/Bitstream Vera Sans.
I have Arial and Verdana, don't have Albany AMT. But if Arial is available why would be any of the remaining on the list used?
None of these that I have at all looks similar to the one is used in yast2 titles. And, if I change font type in qtconfig as root, the font type in yast window changes immediately except the abovementioned title font. It remains strange and ugly.
The trouble with the font used for /etc/sysconfig Editor looks like one of hinting/bytecode. Which openSUSE version are you using? Exactly which font package(s) did you install? Which X desktop do you use?
I have openSUSE 11.2 with KDE 3.5. I have Times New Roman, Arial, Courier New fonts (all msttcorefonts).
I have these font packages:
rpm -qa|grep -i fonts|sort bpg-fonts-0.20050518-182.1.noarch droid-fonts-1.0-3.1.noarch ec-fonts-mftraced-1.0.12-244.1.noarch fetchmsttfonts-11.2-6.6.12.noarch fonts-config-20080121-54.2.noarch fonts-thryomanes-1.2-169.1.noarch free-ttf-fonts-1.0-342.1.noarch ghostscript-fonts-other-8.64-6.2.1.i586 ghostscript-fonts-std-8.64-6.2.1.i586 pullin-msttf-fonts-11.2-6.6.7.noarch sgi-fonts-1.0-927.1.noarch tv-fonts-1.1-425.1.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-7.4-6.3.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-core-7.4-6.3.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-devel-7.4-5.1.i586
Several of those I'm not familiar with. I suppose it's possible one or more have a dedicated alias that overrides the generics from /etc/fonts/suse-post-user.conf. Digging through /etc/fonts*conf you might find such a thing.
From your list I don't have: bpg-fonts, ec-fonts-mftraced, fonts-thryomanes, free-ttf-fonts or sgi-fonts. You could try removing one or more of them.
I have that you don't: patterns-openSUSE-fonts, patterns-openSUSE-fonts-opt. Maybe installing those would fix something.
See the sample images, in qtconfig font type/size is set to:
Sans Serif 10 pt: http://i40.tinypic.com/34tem80.jpg
Sans Serif 14 pt: http://i42.tinypic.com/rw15y0.jpg
The text "/etc/sysconfig Editor" looked normal earlier. How could I change it back to use normal font?
Maybe reinstalling DejaVu fonts will fix your problem, or adding Liberation fonts. If you still have an agfa-fonts rpm available, which supplies Thorndale and Albany AMT, try installing it. Or if you don't have M$ fonts installed, try installing them, or at least Arial (and/or Verdana if you can stand its bloated x-height).
I reinstalled Dejavu fonts, added Liberation fonts, step by step. Could not find agfa fonts. Arial, Verdana, I had already. No change.
I was suggesting one or maybe two of the above, not all. For most people there's no need for agfa-fonts if M$ fonts are installed.
Also verify in your desktop's fonts settings that suitable settings for anti-alias and hinting exist. I think the hinting default is "full", which I dislike (as it usually looks more like "none") and always change to "medium".
I use antialiasing at medium hinting level too.
Here you can see how it looks 'normal' on another system (and previously on this system):
