The default country is the country first on the list :-)

The reason why this doesn't work is KDE defaults to unicode. AFAIK the
xset settings adds some unicode fonts to the fontpath. If you don't have
any other unicode fonts on your machine, those fixed fonts will be
used. The fix would be to select a different charset or install some
unicode fonts. Maybe we could provide some non-fixed unicode fonts as
well?
