It sounds like a config file got updated and when you rebooted, it
loaded the new settings.  I'm not sure about your distro but I always
keep a back up of my configs just in case.  I have not ran into this
before though.

You may can fix some of this by checking your file associations.  You
should have a little thing that looks like a wrench in there somewhere,
then look for File Associations under KDE Components.  You can then tell
it to use Konqueror to open html files.  I hope I understood the problem
correctly.

I'm not sure about the fonts problem though. 

You may also want to indicate which distro you are using.  I use Gentoo,
some use Redhat or Mandrake and a ton of others.  The distro makes a
huge difference sometimes and this lists has subscribers from a lot of them.
