George: it must have something to do with your upgrade. I just completed 
going from KDE 4.12.2 to 4.12.3 and everything is working. The YaSt Font 
Icon appears under Configure Desktop --> System Administration --> Font 
Management. Selecting it displays all the fonts I have installed. 

If I select a font, and right click it gives me the option to delete, 
open in font viewer, etc. i tried the font viewer and it works.

I will say this, my fonts are all installed in the system wide font 
folder, not just for the user.

Not sure but you maybe able to force install the font viewer again from 
YaST if there are no other options. i have never tried that.
