If I understood some of the postings correctly koffice only renders certain
font types correctly. IMHO _all_ imported fonts should be replaced with
fonts, which are rendered correctly as long as QT does not do it.
May be all fonts with no matching font set for ms and koffice (native and
the fuzzy set mentioned above) should be replaced with the font for the
standard style. eventualy issueing a message that this has been done.
