Font Appearance problem

Well, I tried this in Admin and got no response after a week ?(, so with apologies, let me try it here.
All of my fonts in the KDE environment -- toolbars, menus, etc., show up as Italic even though I select Regular. I had this problem once before and fixed it in kcontrol by selecting Helvetica instead of whatever else I had selected to solve a problem in another application. Now I don't seem to be able to fix it at all; somehow it seems to display the italic bitmap instead of regular. Any thoughts?

On a related subject, can someone tell me how to interpret the font strings found in kdeglobals and elsewhere?
e.g <fontname> ,12,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0.

So far I've figured out that the 50 is replaced by 75 for Bold Italic, and there is a 1 before the string of 0s when it's bold.

TIA
HW

RE: Font Appearance problem

Probably nobody replied because it is a tough question. Do you have truetype fonts installed. Also, what distribution are you using?
