In this standard.
Previously I had other fonts in /usr/local/share/fonts, but this seems to be 
not a default directory (according to /etc/fonts/fonts.conf) ...
Hmmm.... but it is listed in local.conf
Still, I have moved /usr/local/share/fonts to /usr/share/fonts and now the 
fonts are listed - strange.
Beside that I now see the old fonts, my KDE applications don't look as before.
Well, seems not a KDE related problem.

Ah yes, I see. This really seems to be an improvement.
