Not sure what "list" you mean. The page is at www.suni4.org if you want to 
look at the source. Pretty much all the text should be in Arial.

(BTW, all the text from "Among the featured guests" down should not be 
bold, but Konqueror bolds everything.)

I did this, setting it to Luxi Sans to match what I set in the Konqueror 
settings, and it still doesn't work, even though Luxi fonts are available.

Compare any of the pages of www.suni4.org in Konqueror vs most other common 
browsers and you'll see Konqueror is the odd man out. Or maybe I'm just 
seeing that because of some font mis-step.
