The "K" Start Menu font is {Surprise}: The "Menu" font.

The Status Bar is the: "General" font.

Remember that the changes in the Control Center don't take effect till you click the: 
"Apply" button.

I can't find 5 different places.  There is only ONE in KDE 3.2 (there was a redundant one 
in 3.1.x which has been removed -- the KFM Appearance KCM is gone).

Then there are places to set application specific fonts that do not use the global 
settings -- there are lots of them, but these only affect that application.

There is also the place to set the defaults for Web Pages but that is like the application 
settings.

Now there are different ways to go to the: "Fonts" KCM but you are the same place when you 
get there.
