Salut Pere,
had to first change my harddisk (to the old one, where I may play...).

Yes, that sounds like my problem! And yes, I never used qtconfig. Now I
know, that if AA is turned off by qtconfig, not just kcontrol, then all
fonts reappear.
I additionally found out, what made it "work" sometime. As you observed,
sometimes qtconfig does not show all fonts (it then laks the bitmapped
ones). Then everything looks fine (although, this is wrong behaviour, I
think). When all fonts reappear, the "sample-line" in qtconfig will show
up empty for bitmapped-fonts, but the spaces are verry braod (to see, if
you place the cursor in this line, and move).
So till now, the only solution is to turn of AA, at the moment.

What I have to check is, if qtconfig (in qt3.1.1) shows bitmapped fonts or
not.

Ok, I got the src.rpms and try to compile them. Hope my small (old)
harddisk has enought room for that ;-)

Ok, thats also the case in qt/kde3.1.1 for me. I don't think that this is
wrong. Maybe only TTF and Type1 fonts get AA.

Yes, maybe. I have upgraded some time ago to 4.3.0, from the SuSE site...
But this is not the standard for my 8.1
