I see.  Thank you.  There was an empty directory
kdebase-1.90/kfontmanager/ Compiled it now.

Well, in order to have good iso8859-5 fonts, you have to use
truetype fonts, and for some reason, although those fonts
names end in -iso8859-5, they are not showed as such in
preferences/fonts.  What hapens is that when an aplication
needs such a font, I guess, it cannot match the encoding and
falls back other fonts and then high-latin and question
marks are diplayed.  If you have kfontmanager you could
disable all fonts but the truetype and the application would
not have where to fall back.  But now i have it compiled.
