The CSS on that site is specifying 'font-family: Verdana, Cursor;', which appears to be a default in Buildbot. Cursor is a symbol font, see http://www.dafont.com/cursor.font. So it's related to whether Verdana is installed on your system and whether and how the family names get aliased to actual installed fonts. Why the mapping ends up differing between KHTML and QtWebKit I don't know.

Fixed upstream in Buildbot, https://github.com/buildbot/buildbot/commit/cb1b5ed2f1

I did changed fonts in konqueror and doesnt matters what fonts i choose, konqueror khtml continues displaying signs instead letters.
Comment 5 Eike Hein 2011-04-15 00:41:16 UTC
The font settings are only relevant if the website doesn't specify font families by name (which this website does), or if KHTML is set to force websites to use the user-configured fonts.

So maybe's better to put ktml doing since webkit already does it, using webkit konqueror displays buildbot fine.
