This proved easy to fix by taking the font lines from "accessible"
& inserting them into "default" to create a personal CSS file.
The originals are in hard-to-find places:
  "default" =  /usr/kde/3.5/share/apps/khtml/css/html4.css
  "accessible" =  ~/.kde/share/apps/kcmcss/override.css
(Krusader's very powerful search facility helped a lot in finding them)
& KDE's use of style sheets is not well explained in the KDE dox.

Thanks again to the  2  helpers & HTH as grist for the list archive.
