It is, because you usually install KDE into $KDEDIR - which is by default
/usr/local/kde; on a SuSE system this would be /opt/kde3. As we're using /usr
as a prefix, the font files end up in /usr/share/fonts.
I've fixed the issues in both HEAD and BRANCH now like discussed with Chris on
IRC.

Qt 3.1.2 isn't in unstable :-) and it will take a while since the problem is
related to glibc IIRC what madkiss said why he couldn't upload it yet. Qt 3.2
will come out as a beta this week but that won't help too much I guess.
