The font for the KDE logo is Kabel. It is not Bitstream Vera Sans
Bold. As I wrote earlier, there's a link at the bottom of
http://www.kde.org/stuff/clipart.php to download the proper KDE logo
font.
In the link above, see the sections "Typeface" and "KDE Logo Font and KDE-EDU"

Use Bitstream Vera Sans Bold in accord with the guidelines at
http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Guidelines/CIG/Typeface

Don't use this font for the KDE logo.

Your English is fine. We understand what you are writing. Or if we
don't, we'll ask. You are among friends; we're all in this together.
