Italics problem in KDE

[geders]

I've noticed that anytime anything is italicized in KDE, the font's run away...I never noticed it too much since I hardly use KDE apps (Control Center, File manager, Konq, etc), but I would like it fixed. It has no problem in other apps (mozilla, konsole, etc) but that is b/c they don't use KDE...anyone know how to fix this?

P.S. KDE 3.0.4, XFree86 4.2.1, Gentoo 1.2 and here's a pic:

There is a discussion about various font problems, mostly relating to X 4.2.1 here. There is a thread on this specific problem here..

Moving to duplicates forum...
