I still believe it is the same problem. Which font do you use for your 
menus? (You can configure fonts for different parts of the GUI in 
kcontrol.) I guess it may be one that does not physically exist on your 
system (like sans-serif or any font that you do not have installed). It 
should be one you have configured for font substitution (and the part 
between square brackets, if existent, is as important as the rest of the 
font name).
