Description eric 2010-03-15 14:52:53 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.4.1)
Compiler:          gcc-4.4.3 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Archlinux Packages

Kmail (and also kontact) has a problem showing the subject in the fancy headers view with certain fonts.
I've found this when using the Candara font, which I think is part of WindowsXP. I haven't seen this problem with the same font in any other KDE application.

To duplicate the problem:
1) Configure kmail to use the Candara font for message bodies;
2) create a new e-mail with subject "BLA BLA: 3BLA" and save it as draft;
3) open the e-mail just created;
4) choose the fancy headers view and look at the subject.

When the subject is a bit different, the problem is not occuring:
subject is "BLA BLA: 3BLA" --> occuring;
subject is "bla bla: 3BLA" --> not occuring;
subject is "BLA BLA: A3BLA" --> not occuring.

This is probably not a high-priority bug, because most other fonts are OK, but it is annoying (because I like the Candara font or look-a-likes).
