I have now determined that the problem I was having with KDevelop's widgets is distinct from the problem with the fonts. I built the releas 3.1.1 from the www.kde.org site, and I still have a problem with the fonts. I'm almost certain this started with my installing KDE 3.1.1 and QT 3.1.2. I have to observe that I'm not directly using either one of these. My QTDIR is /usr/local/qt-3.1.2 which I built myself, and my KDEDIR /opt/kded is symlinked to /opt/kde-3.1.1-release which I built. The problem with the fonts seems to be that the documentation has Helvetica hard-coded into the HTML. Why? Don't ask me, but removing the obnoxious blight allows me to read the document in Konqueror. I'm still uncertain as to what the problem with the fonts is. My guess is, there is some kind of font replacement mapping getting in the way. I've tried removing the /etc/X11/qtrc and rebuilding the fonts cache, to no avail. There is the chance that my problem with kdevelop could be internal to my setup, though I doubt it. I tried pretty hard to remove any references to my own versions of things when trying to isolate the source of the problem. STH

The problem with the fonts is almost certainly with the qt-3.1.2 rpm. I just replaced that with the 3.1.1, and I have my font's back. I have no clue what it's changing, but it's changing something. As I said, I'm not eveny pointing to /usr/lib/qt3. STH

The more serious of the two problems, the problem with KDevelop was probably on my end. I carefully removed and reinstalled everything after rebuilding the rpm database, and things seem to be working as regards basic functionality of kdevelop. I've also determined the problem with the fonts is coming from the qt3-3.1.2-6.i586.rpm and is caused by the /usr/lib/qt3/lib/libqt-mt.so.3. I listed all the files in the rpm and replaced them one by one with the older bits until the fonts came back. I've tested this again, and it seems to be directly affected by the version of that particular file. I'm not sure of the consequences of running with the older lib in place, and I really don't have the time to figure out how to rebuild the rpm. If anybody has any suggestions for fixing this I'd like to hear it. I found other problems related to compiling KDE/QT apps with my own build, and simply don't have time to troubleshoot this any further. I'll be sending this to feedback as well. STH
