Then you need to report this to the right people, kdevelop doesn't change
any font's at all on itself and there's been no commits font-related
either. So you most probably want to ask kde-core-devel or kde-devel. Apart
from that compare what font is shown when removing the entries vs. when
clicking the "Defaults" button. And of course check back what else changed
on your system.
