Fixed in KDE 4.  The user can choose from all available fonts, even those which are not monospace.

Unfortunately some fonts which are advertised as being 'monospaced' are not as far as the font libraries that Qt uses are concerned, which is how KDE decides what shows up in the font selection box.  If I remember correctly there was a popular font creation tool which used to set one particular character to a different width than all the others which caused problems for example.
