What I was thinking about was changing the QApplication::font() calls in the 
richtext sources to some static function we should provide, which returns 
QFont font = qapplication::font() with setCharset(QFont::AnyCharSet) enabled. 
That way the fonts should show up correctly.
But I don't know if this would solve our problem. Maybe the not-foreign text 
would then be corrupted.
You get what I mean?

If we would have to use the fonts.dir files -- which would be really bad -- 
we should provide tarballs with a complete fonts directory (all the foreign 
fonts) and editing instructions in it. Or maybe several tarballs prepared for 
the different locales (encodings)? Users would then only have to add this 
directory to their fontpath. There would be several problems (ttf fonts not 
possible everywhere, ...)

But we should try to get the first one working.

Is the 23th still a possible release date?
