There are two solutions to this. First you can use only Truetype fonts. Simply 
put /usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType into your fontpath with "xset +fp 
/usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType; xset fp rehash" and use "Arial" for 
instance. Second you can apply the attached patch from CVS and recompile 
khtml.

I see the same. Even the no-software-patents image on www.kde.org is affected.

I would add artsd to the list. Apparently it looses filedescriptors and stops 
working after some time. I already reported it to bugs.kde.org.

But besides that KDE 3.0 works great! The imap support in kmail is so much 
better.
