If you've got an older version of Xft installed, and you've got a *lot* of TrueType fonts, then applications can take a long time to start as Xft used to read all of the fonts to find out what was available. > The other question is with regards to fonts (gack).

Add an X resource of the form Xft.core: true to your configuruation, this will cause Xft to list both core and Render fonts to Qt. I've not tried this particular experiment; it may produce some "unusual" results.
