rekonq does not use KDE's default fonts by default. It default to "Arial" and "Courier New" when my defaults are "Sans Serif" and "Serif". rekonq should trust KDE in its font choices, there is probably a good reason why they are chosen. While font situation has been improved in 0.4.71, the default font decision is left to QtWebkit default fonts. So, while rekonq uses KDE default fonts in its simple UI, it chooses QtWebkit fonts by default on pages. Isn't this reasonable? Some correct me if I'm wrong, but I ebelive Arial, Courier New and Times New Roman are MS fonts - odds are they won't be installed on most KDE boxes.

I, too, think that Rekonq should use SC's fonts as default. QtWebKit was not primarily designed with KDE in mind which is why some of its design decisions should be changed by KDE apps. That said, Rekonq should still offer to override SC's defined fonts (hence not remove the prefpane). After all, a monospace font on a website may have a different purpose than a monospace font in Konsole. |
