I know that this may be not very good solution for you (as you just installed 
KDE 2.2.2), but:

Try to install KDE3, and KOffice 1.1 compiled for KDE3.
Most of font problems disappeared in KDE3 (comparing to KDE2)
The only remained problem with Palationo will be fixed in QT 3.0.3 (according 
to Lars Knoll)
