= QT3 font substitution =

Since using Kubuntu for the first time, I had the problem that Chinese text was not rendered correctly in QT3 applications. This is due to QT's own font substitution, which apparently does not rely on fontconfig (see this [https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qt-x11-free/+bug/94282 bug report]).

As a workaround, I wrote a script that emulates fontconfig's font substitution mechanism in QT3.
