Although, as I wrote, I don't use GNOME, I opened a GNOME session and tried 
playing with the settings you recommended. But either I don't know enough 
about what to look for in GNOME or that's not the problem. In any case, it 
does seem strange to me that applications running on the KDE desktop would 
depend on GNOME font settings. Am I wrong? Also, as I wrote, these 
applications worked fine in MDK10.0 and I'm sure I didn't set up anything via 
the GNOME desktop.


BTW - this is a completely different problem, but something strange happened 
when I ran GNOME. I discovered that I could use the keyboard shortcut I 
choose at installation to switch between English and Hebrew. In KDE I can 
only switch languages using the KDE Keyboard tool from the KDE panel.
