Update:  I have figured out that when I log into a user (not root) and I 
go into the YAST Control Center, the font will only go to Nimbus if I 
log in as root.  For example:  If I log in as user, then go into YAST 
Control Center, log in as root, then log off kde and sign off and 
re-login as the user everything that I previously had open opens 
automatically, including the YAST Control Center.  This time it is the 
font that I set (courier).  

So, it seems that it is only an issue now when I log into something as 
SU or root while in a different user profile.

Help!  I have searched every file using find under root profile using 
"find", but I can't find any files that are currently set to Font=Nimbus 
Sans 1, blah, blah, blah, blah,blah...

(by the way, does anyone know of any documentation that explains the 
"blah, blah, blah" portion of the Font= setting above? It's usually a 
bunch of numbers like 12, 0, 1 , 0 (etc.)
