Yes, I'm just begining to work out what's going on here, but it is
extreemly difficult to get a solution that works everywhere.

If you would like that please file an issue upstream; we don't have the
manpower to start doing tweaks like that ourselves.

This is actually deliberate - to make sure that documents always use
high quality scaleable fonts. I guess your KDE font is a bitmap font.
OK, you can argue that isn't necessary for the menus, but the menu font
selection code uses the same font routines as the document so it isn't a
quick job to enable bitmaped fonts for the menus only.
