I think the only way to work around your problem is to use qtconfig.

I think you are not using qtconfig correctly. Maybe my examples
here help:

http://www.suse.de/~mfabian/suse-cjk/kde-font-setup.html

qtconfig writes the setup to ~/.qt/qtrc. After using qtconfig, you
should have some line like the following in qtrc:

[Font Substitutions]
Luxi Sans=Free Helvetian^eAR PL Mingti2L Big5^eAR PL SungtiL GB^eBaekmuk Gulim^eKochi Gothic^e

"Luxi Sans" is the font you select in the user interface of your KDE
application as the main font (Of course "Luxi Sans" is just an example
here).

In the substitution list, make sure that a font with nice Cyrillic
glyphs comes before the Chinese fonts with the ugly Cyrillic glyphs.
