I can somewhat replicate the problem with Qt-3.1.2 (built from Qt tarball) 
and KDE-3.1.3 (built from CVS KDE_3_1_BRANCH after 3.1.3 release), so this 
probably isn't a new problem.

I set my display to 75 DPI and I get about the same thing with Konsole, see 
attached.

As I pointed out in my other posting, the only sizes available are:

6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 13, 14 & 20 pixels or
6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13 & 20 points

in 75 dpi that come with X and the 15 pixel or 14 point font (75dpi) that 
comes with KDE.

Further looking and I find:

8x13.pcf.gz -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--13-120-75-75-c-80-iso10646-1
9x18.pcf.gz -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--18-120-100-100-c-90-iso10646-1

So, there are two fonts for 13 pixels/12 points.

And one for 100 dpi and this may also be used but doesn't appear to be.

In any case, there are 9, 10 or 11 sizes available and the widget lists 13.

That is the bug, the widget is listing size choices for which there is no 
font available.

To make this clear, the font shown in the preview window is NOT: "Fixed 
[Misc]", it is something else since it is serif and: "Fixed [Misc]" is sans 
serif.  I presume that Qt finds no font for size 15 and substitutes 
something else.

13 appears to be out of sequence with the others.

15 & 16 have the same wrong font in the preview.

19 is a duplicate of 20.

There are 4 anomalys.  9 + 4 = 13

I think that 13, 15, 16 & 19 shouldn't be listed in the Size box, that that 
is the bug.
