Err, this made it in by mistake.  The reason for this particular patch is 
because the KFontDialog tries to open *every* font on the system to determine 
if it is a fixed pitched font or not.  I might be able to make Qt do this, 
but I did the quick and dirty fix so that I didn't have to wait 30 seconds to 
a minute while the X server rendered all of my true type fonts (especially my 
arial unicode font, which is 24mb alone).
