Description Germain Garand 2007-12-17 02:48:32 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

The location bar in konqueror is currently using it's default parent widget font (ie. KGlobalSettings::toolbarFont).

This is ill suited because this font is usually much smaller than the general one, in order to have text-under-icon mode fit.

The location bar is an important widget, one that should always be perfectly legible to ensure good usability and basic security.

Thus it should use KGlobalSettings::generalFont as was the case in KDE 3.

set konq combobox's default font to be the more sane Global font
so we don't hurt our users eyes by default.
