Better check with 'cat /proc/<pid>/maps | grep kde', sometimes you have t=
hings=20
like LD_LIBRARY_PATH set when running ldd, but not when the binaries were=
 run.

I had exactly the same problem and I fixed it by adding=20

[KDE]
AntiAliasing=3Dfalse

to the kdeglobals file (if you don't mind having no antialiased text)
or :

1. Apply Lars' patch to Qt (it's attached)
2. copy the truetype fonts from the old X's CVS installation to the new=20
xf86-4.0.2 rpm installation (in my case, 'cp=20
/usr/X11R6-cvs/lib/X11/fonts/truetype/* /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype=
' )

Btw, you can make simple tests by just trying to run Qt's examples.
They even crashed for me before copying the truetype fonts to the appropi=
ate=20
location (before, this dir was empty and it seems that it caused problems=
)
I guess trying freetype2's cvs may also fix it, but I didn't want to=20
recompile all that.

Hope that helps,
