Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xorg
I changed the default fonts and everything seemed to be working fine.
Then i created a "link to application" in the desktop and configured it
to be run by the root user. What happens is that the launched
application (in this case it was kate) doesn't use the configured fonts
but the default ones instead.
Note that if i do:
"sudo kate"
from the command like kate is launched with the correct fonts.
