It'll be a bit broken with fixed fonts. There are two ways to solve this. The 
right way is done in Xft. The other is to add a workaround in Qt, that'll at 
let you select fixed fonts. I've attached the patch to both Xft and Qt. If 
you compile XFree from source the Xft patch (or updating XFree) is clearly 
preferable. It's very small in xc/lib/Xft, and you'll only need to recompile 
the Xft subdirectory (make; make install in that directory after applying the 
patch should do).

If you have binary XFree, you might try the Qt hack.

Enjoy,
Lars
