KDE4 font choose window @ 144 DPI

Misfeatures of current Select Font window at initially opened size (numbers for
#'s 1-6 all for 144 DPI):
1-font select list too short to hold even 2 lines
2-size list too short to hold more than 2 lines
3-style list too short to hold more than 2 styles
4-style list omits selection "Bold" (distinct bug?)
5-scrollbars too narrow to be targeted using default mouse pointer threshold
5-scrollbars too short to be useful
6-512px in width regardless of screen density
7-varies only slightly in height according to applied font size; e.g. with size
10, 393px tall @ 96 DPI, 403px tall @ 120 DPI, 413px tall @ 132 DPI, 437px tall
@ 144 DPI

Shortcomings increase as DPI increases, decrease as DPI decreases approaching
96, but are not entirely gone even at 96 DPI.

As display density increases, so should initial Select Font window size in px,
remaining approximately the same physically.
