Package: kalzium
Version: 4:3.2.1-1
Severity: important

Hello,

this is no special kalzium problem but I do really not have a reasonable
idea which package causes the problem and kalzium is the first package
which shows it up at my system.  So feel free to reassigng the bug to
the relevant package (it might be defoma or some basic Gnome package).

I use KDE applications under a Gnome environment which is controlled
by gdm.  It shows up that KDE applications just choose a "random"
font.  In fact it is not really random but the first font of the
fontlist in alphabethical order.  This effect is shown in some
screen shots which are available at

   http://people.debian.org/~tille/font-error/

The screenshots names <app>_barcode.png show the situation when some
barcode font (3of9) is installed.  This happens for kalzium and - just
as an example - khangman.  After removing the 3of9 font another fancy
font (sorry, I do not know the name).  I just observed this very same
effect in bug #205181, but in a different situation.  That's why I
expect a bug in the font selection mechanism of either Gnome or KDE.

Kind regards

         Andreas.

  this has been addressed (long time ago, but 3.5 for sure): kde in
debian uses monospace/serif/sans serif fonts, and let fontconfig deal
with those.
