Ok. I did not answer because Dirk already said everything really, in much 
more detail than I would be able to do.

It uses the "global" qt style by default, but you can override it with the 
-style option.

If your Qt has the motif style, you can make konq-e using it with 

konqueror -style motif

You can make your own style and make it look exactly the way you need. 
The QStyle reference contains all you need to know, really.

There is no special magic involved. Konqueror uses the system fonts, and Qt 
has a fallback mechanism. It is not perfect, but you can tweak it, 
the .qt/qtrc file contains an entry [Font Substitution] which you can use.
Konqueror itself has its own font map. I think it's under the [HTML 
Settings] section.

In your konq-embedrc put these lines:

[http Settings]
UseCache=false

I haven't, but it could be a nice addition. I had a look at KSVG when it got 
in KDE at first. but it seemed a bit to heavy on memory usage, and it 
needed some more external libraries.

Would flash do for you? There is a minimal flash player in the addon 
directory, you can enable it with --enable-addons=kflashpart
