[core-devel: we're talking about a bug in the profile management of=20
KMail's configuredialog, where only some fonts get applied and others=20
don't. It turned out to be the problem of how to feed a "default font",=20
read from a config file, into KFontChooser without risking=20
KFontChooser's not applying it when it doesn't find it in it's family=20

OK. I tracked it down:
1. I wrote "Helvetica,<some numbers>" into the config files.
2. They're correctly read as you can see from the debug output and thus=20
they make their way into mFont[].
3. BUT: When calling KFontChooser::setFont(), KFontChooser searches it's=20
family listbox for the string selFont.family(). Here, it doesn't=20
contain "Helvetica", only
"Helvetica Narrow"
"Helvetica [Adobe]"
"Helvetica [Mdk]"
"Helvetica [Urw]"
So the font isn't changed in the fontchooser.

Two things:
1. one could introduce another pass of over the list box, this time with=20
=2Efind() or .startsWith(), but for me this would select "Helvetica=20
Narrow", which isn't exactly what I'd call Helvetiva...
But still this only solves part of the problem, whose core is:
2. How does one write a "default font" into a config file, ie. one that=20
is guaranteed to be available on all platforms?
