           Summary: Konqueror's default font is illegible.  The font is
                    DejaVu Sans.
           Product: konqueror
           Version: 4.0.3
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konq-bugs kde org
        ReportedBy: ms f2s com


Version:           4.0.3 (using KDE 4.0.3)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

The default font used by Konqueror, DejaVu Sans, is shown incorrectly.  This makes it illegible.

There is already a bug report, 154919, which reports that some fonts are shown incorrectly.  The reason I am writing this in a new bug report is that Kubuntu 8.04 KDE4 displays this bug in a very prominent place, so I think this bug may be seen by many people.  (If other people see what I see.)  This makes a fix more urgent.  

I am using the live CD, I have not installed this distro.

The Live CD for this distro has only two icons on the desktop, "Install" and "About Kubuntu".  The "About Kubuntu" icon is a HTML file, introducing Kubuntu and KDE.  When this file is opened by Konqueror, it displays a page of illegible text.  This will often be the first app that people will use when trying out KDE 4, so it gives a bad impression.

A quick fix for this would be to simply change the default font used by Konqueror.  The problem with displaying the font incorrectly can then be fixed later.
