It is fine. It serves its purpose: to fine-tune the font settings. KDE has a perfectly sane default. If only my system provided "helvetica", "times" and "courier", it would have worked without any need for a change. Those names are de-facto standard font names. No reason a properly configured system won't supply them. What I would like is that my system would alias by-default all of those to (yuck!) misc-fixed, to allow all programs to display text properly out-of-the-box (right? maybe some programs need Type1/TTFs?) And also make it easy to change the aliasing to a different set of fonts (e.g: Arial/Times New Roma/Courier New). Thus by setting one thing I configure the fonts to all programs that have sane default font settings.
