Interestingly enough, back in SuSE 10.0, I was using KMail until it
started producing incoming mails in some Asian font--Chinese, or something--
I didn't recognize it, and it was impossible to convert the mail to
something readable. This happened about once in every ten mails. Obviously
I had to stop using KMail. Possibly someone who knows how that was
fixed (if it ever was) might know what's going on with your fonts.
