hmm, too bad. Well, let's say that if I use scribus, I can go along with the 
fact that I have to use kfontselect (or whatever) to look at the fonts. 
Anybody else in my environment (your ordinary linux-user ;) would prefer to 
have the 'real' fonts in the font-description.
 Well, if you're programming for the pro's, the new behavior sure is better. 
If you want to have it as DTP-for-everyone, the fonts should show 'for real'.
 Why not make a switch, and put it 'for real' by default? Then power-users 
(who'll know the program better anyway) can switch this feature off, gaining 
some speed...

my 2 cents,
