Hummm... that kicked something in my brains.
The view isn't only required for the kcm, but also for kfontview.
In addition it must be able to handle *specific* fonts from files, which are not (yet) installed in the system - so I guess the cause for the custom code was either the absence of QFontDataBase before Qt 4.2 or it's dependency on fontconfig?

@Thomas S.: you'll have to make use of the class when/if porting the
view.

Reg. the multiselection: the view replaces the preview by a list of the
selected font names in a QLabel here then (what oc. works like any
regular font rendering), but the broken rendering does look like an
issue with the color/alpha channels - what you indicate the "wrong"
visual id or picture format is selected (yet even if, the code is too
complex if the task can be done by QFontDatabase + QPainter)
