mmm I tried that, I edited ~/.qt/qtrc and added the line 
enableXft=false. 
re-booted x server, no change
In the URL it suggests enableXft should already be there, my ~/.qt/qtrc did 
not contain it, it consisted of ..

[customColors]
0=-1
1=-1
10=-1
11=-1
12=-1
13=-1
14=-1
15=-1
2=-1
3=-1
4=-1
5=-1
6=-1
7=-1
8=-1
9=-1

I also tried modifying  
/etc/fonts/local.conf
This does not exist in debian

I dont realy know enough about fonts or qt.
My idea of scrapping the user and re-generating was a "last ditch" affair 
since I did not get anywhere with these fixes.
