tried to run qtconfig to see if I could get the fonts to render and
there got a segmentatoin fault in loadFontConfigFont which makes me
think there may be some incompatibility with my system fonts.
Interestingly enough the fonts render in non-qt X applications. Is
there a standard font set that I should be installing?? Right now I
have what came with my linux kernel (2.6.8.1) and Xorg (6.8.2). Looks
like qt might have come with its own as well.

Hello co-listers:
Perhaps this answer arrives so late, but I've had the same problem this days
with LFS-6.0 on a eMac and on a HP Omnibook and I've found this mail
thread «googling».
I've resolved the same problem of Devan, adding the directories of fonts
specified in /etc/X11/xorg.conf to the file /etc/fonts/local.conf, i.e.:
If /etc/X11/xorg.conf says;
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/font/75dpi/"
I've added to /etc/fonts/local.conf the next line inmediately before the line
who says "</fontconfig>"
<dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/font/75dpi</dir>
After this, /usr/local/qt/bin/qtconfig and /usr/local/qt/examples/hello/hello
works fine.
As root user, I've executed the command «fc-cache» to create in each directory
the file fonts.cahe and speed up the startup time of the application.
I hope this mail helps someone sometime.
Un saludo.
J.C.
