This does not work in KDE 3.0.3 (Debian/unstable). Fonts in khelpcenter are 
*real* ugly.

>From /usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/en/common/kde-default.css:

/* Temporary patch: browsers break on bad HTML */
/* P, H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, TD, TH { font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
    } */
 P, H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, TD, TH { font-family: sans-serif;
    } 

Uncommenting the temporary patch and commenting out the original line solves 
the problem of ugly fonts in khelpcenter. To favour TT fonts which look 
better on screen than type1 and set an appropriate size (for me) mine now 
looks like this:

 P, H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, TD, TH { font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;
                                              font-size: large;
    }

Sounds like this has been fixed in 3.1. Should I file a bug report against 
3.0.3? i.e will there be a 3.0.4 and does anyone know if the fix in 3.1 has 
been backported?
