Salut folks,
after upgrading to KDE 3.1.2 I had a bad experience with some websites.
But later on, I discovered, that it must be a font problem.

For example http://www.linux.org.uk/cgi-bin/portaloo
should show 6 newsticker-tables. I only see the black-heading-bars (and
the graphics and the configuration links above the bar) and the
dots, as well as I can select the links, but there is no writeing. Also
the invisible fonts require lots of more space... I get a really big
window (horizontal slider is visible, which is not normal, if the window
has a reasonable size).

So at first I downgraded to KDE 3.1.1, as before, but it did not help.
Later I reinstalled KDE 3.1.2 and toggeled the font-antialising. When I
first switched it off, it was cured, the next KDE session. So I switched
it back on, to see, if this is the problem, but for the next 3 or 2
KDE-sessions it work well. But then, without having changed anything, it
broke again and there was no way back...
If I select a font in the settings of konqueror/fonts there are fonts that
are firstly not visible in the dropdown-menu. If I select them, the name
then show up. Also with kcontrol/Appearance & themes/Fonts the dialog
which is opend with "choose...", there are fonts, that dont display a
preview. As Adobe Helvetica is one of them, quite some web-sites are
affected by my problem.

My System is a SuSE 8.1 based, KDE 3.1.2 (trigged by updating from 3.1.1,
but not cured by re-downgrading to 3.1.1), P4-mobile-laptop.
I downloaded RPMs.

A related question. Each time I upgraded from 3.1 to 3.1.1 and form 3.1.1
to 3.1.2 the console changed its fonts. Is this normal?

Thanks for some hints...
