Why fonts are available with X and not with KDE ?

[Hervé Piedvache <footcow@noos.fr>]

Hi,

I have a trouble with fonts ... I can see some fonts under X ... with
xfontsel for example ... or  with this command :

$ xlsfonts | grep -i adobe | grep 'iso8859-15'
-adobe-itc avant garde gothic-book-o-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-15
-adobe-itc avant garde gothic-book-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-15
-adobe-itc avant garde gothic-demi-o-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-15
-adobe-itc avant garde gothic-demi-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-15
-adobe-itc bookman-demi-i-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-15
-adobe-itc bookman-demi-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-15
-adobe-itc bookman-light-i-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-15
-adobe-itc bookman-light-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-15
-adobe-itc zapf chancery-medium-i-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-15

But under KDE or GNOME ... with the for example the font selector of KDE;
or inside applications like Kate ... I never see those fonts ... called for
example itc zapf chancery [adobe] on other system I have ...

Does someone have any idea to solve this trouble ?

I have one point to add to my trouble ... I have a laptop installed last week 
from a classical woody install CD, and upgrade immediatly in Unstable ... 
without starting X during the complete install ... Then I have itc zapf 
chancery [adobe] or Helvetica [adobe] and Fixed [Jis] or Fixed [Sony] on this 
configuration ... that I don't see on my PC !!

I have copied the /etc/fonts folder from the laptop to my PC, and also 
compared the fonts packages installed on the two computer to be in same 
situation ... but still without any result on my PC !! :o((

So not a fontconfig trouble ... so Where is the trouble ?

Thanks for your help !
