Bug Description
In Feisty, DejaVu Sans Condensed is used when "Sans" is the default KDE font.
See http://<email address hidden>
Of course, I like the Condensed font, but would like to be able to select between the Book and Condensed versions.
Reproduction steps:
1. Launch kcontrol.
2. Go to the Fonts dialog box.
3. Change a font and select "Sans" and "Normal".
Expected result:
Qt should pick the regular version of fontconfig's sans-serif.
Actual result:
Instead of using Bitstream Vera Sans, it picks DejaVu Sans Condensed.

On my configuration the wronly selected font leads to colour bleeding which makes the rendering very ugly.
This is the changelog entry from Debian's libqt3 version 3.3.7-2.
* debian/ patches/ 61_fcfontmatch_ fontwidth_ fix.dpatch
Fix font matching with fontconfig. This resolves inconsistency with
determining font width (e.g. Dejavu Sans "Condensed" may get selected
instead of "Book" for Sans Serif font) for default fonts (Sans Serif,
Serif and Monospace). This bug is very important because it makes
default KDE fonts look ugly in most cases.
