[Kmymoney-devel] Debugging plugins

[Chris]

Hi Allen

With the font issues I found that the font was not specified in the ui file 
so defaults where applied. Those defaults caused problems. So it may be the 
defaults on your machine are more suited to your desktop environment than 
the default on other desktops. On windows, QT uses an internationalised font 
"ms shell dlg 2" which may or may not be a good choice. To get a consistent 
look and feel across desktops requires a consistent font.

It may not be ubuntu's fault.

If you could attach a patch that would be wonderful
