Fonts in a KDE application

what's wrong is that in konsole case the font is NOT installed i.e. not 
available for konsole to use it. the font is merely copied to some location 
and that's it.
we want the font to be immediately usable, from source or from packages. 

so what we intend to do is 
1) during app startup, use QFont to try to load the font
2) if it fails, install the font over using kfmclient and kfontinst (all in 
the code, nothing required from user, nothing in compile time that requires a 
X server) in fonts:/Personal
