Bug#289551: konqueror: displays wrong fonts

[Wolfgang Jeltsch <wolfgang@jeltsch.net>]

Package: konqueror
Version: 4:3.3.2-0pre1
Severity: normal

I had set all fonts in the KControl font selection except the monospace
font to Bitstream Vera Sans.  Konqueror's default font was set to
Bitstream Vera Sans, too.

I changed the fonts in KControl to some Nimbus thing and then back to
Bitstream Vera Sans.  But now normal text (not headlines etc.) was
displayed with a serif font.  I changed the Konqueror font to Bitstream
Vera Sans Mono and Dingbats but neither of them resulted in the expected
font change.

After finally changing Konqueror's font back to Bitstream Vera Sans, I
saw the sans serif font again.  But when I reduced the font size via the
toolbar, I saw again a serif font.

I cannot see the reason for this behavior.  It seems to me that there is
a notable amount of brokeness in Konqueror's font handling.
