No, there is no difference betwenn if you have KDE or not. I'll fix this 
problem as soon as possible.

An other known bug apears when the path or file name contains spaces 
(only when trying to render the scene)

That's right, I must modify this point.

I don't develop this with KDE, otherwise, you would have to compile QT 
and the compile KDE with this QT version : inacceptable. All TTF fonts 
can be used, but the do have to be installed for the X server. KDE 
provide a tool to do this, I think Gnome have something like this too.
For bitmapped fonts, I don't know if QT can use them since it has it's 
own font rendering engine and don't use XFree to do this.
