Hi, I had the same problem with fonts after upgrading to XFree 4.3. This is what is posted on the kde-forum:
Hi all, I actually found the solution for the font problems with Qt/KDE some ppl may already have experienced, after upgrading to Xfree86 4.3.0. Like i thought yesterday, it really is something between Qt and XF4.3. More specificly, between Qt and Xft. The clue is as following: 1: Follow every step from SuSE's (XF4.3) README, and be sure XF4.3 works fine beside the font problem described above. 2: Download xshared-4.2.0-187.i586.rpm from SuSE's ftp (or mirror). 3: Extract libXft.so.1.1 from the RPM (using Midnight Commander or rpm-get) and put the file at a safe place. 4: Backup all /usr/X11/lib/libXft* to a secure place, in case something horrible happens. 5: Copy and overwrite the XF4.3 Xft libs with the one from suse's 4.2 like this (after cd'ing to the dir where the extracted libXft.so.1.1 is): su -c "cp libXft.so.1.1 /usr/X11/lib/libXft.so.2.1" su -c "cp libXft.so.1.1 /usr/X11/lib/libXft.so.1.1" 5: When doing this in KDE, KDE will crash. This is no problem. Just restart the XServer, and start KDE, whether it will crash or not. 6: Have fun, and enjoy XFree86 4.3 ( with an old Xft library ;) Of course this method isnt ideal, but i guess this is the best thing until Qt or KDE has a resolution of it's own.
