If you have this problem with both KDE 2.x and 3.x then this can't be the 
problem, because this problem only applies to Qt 3.

Maybe the KDE font installer that comes with KDE 3 (in the control panel) is 
of help to you to pinpoint the cause of the problems? Or maybe the RedHat 
website has more info if it is a known RedHat problem? I for one don't have a 
solution for you, though, sorry.
