Okay, I figured it out. This is indeed not a bug in kdrill; it is yet another problem with the xorg transition to 7.x, in that the symlink /usr/lib/X11/fonts was not updated to point to /usr/share/fonts/X11 rather than the old location of /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ (IIRC, I had to move or copy or some such fonts from the old location to the new to fix an unrelated problem); changing the symlink by hand fixed the problem.
Feel free to mark the bug as done (since I presume I can't do it myself, and see no way to try anyway); the symlink issue probably does need to be dealt with somewhere, but this is not the correct place to do it. -- The Wanderer Warning: Simply because I argue an issue does not mean I agree with any side of it.
