For all those who would like to avoid the b0rked fonts when upgrading, I have 
a work-around:

What I ended up doing was using Adept for the first time, & holding back 
the  'kde-guidance' pkg.  I also used the 'Safe Upgrade' option.  The result 
was the fonts are unscathed when one reboots (the new kernel was included in 
my upgrade) or otherwise restarts KDE.
