That is because of the qfont and qfontdatabase. The first thing to do is to fix
the font combobox to allow a setting to not show bitmap fonts. The kfontselect
dialog allready does so.
Then there are some problems I did not get into yet that 
- the qt font database shows one font more then ones in different places sometimes
- a created qfont does not always map to the font database. Maybe this can be fixed
  by ONLY creating qfonts by asking the font database to create them.

Can't reproduce..

    As you expect probably; since they work like I like them :)
Maybe you want to provide the user with some default tab positions in the default
styles of the default templates..

Same for tables; there is something wrong with the hardest code in the whole of koffice,
the kanchor draw method. (I think)

Which is correct.  Please don't change that.

Take a look in the kwcanvas file first; I think its in there. 
Other stuff; take your pick from my comments above :)

The only thing worse than failure is the fear of trying something new
