OK, now iceweasel runs, but I realised that there is more to it,
something to do with fonts and pango. When I start non-kde
applications under kde, I get little squares instead of fonts.

The output is like this (for xsane, here):

xsane:9842): Pango-WARNING **: failed to create cairo scaled font,
expect ugly output. the offending font is 'DejaVu Sans 10'

(xsane:9842): Pango-WARNING **: failed to create cairo scaled font,
expect ugly output. the offending font is 'DejaVu Sans 12.5'

(xsane:9842): Pango-WARNING **: shaping failure, expect ugly output.
shape-engine='BasicEngineFc', font='DejaVu Sans 12.5', text='French
(Français)'

(xsane:9842): Pango-WARNING **: pango_font_get_glyph_extents called
with null font argument, expect ugly output

(xsane:9842): Pango-WARNING **: shaping failure, expect ugly output.
shape-engine='BasicEngineFc', font='DejaVu Sans 10', text='XSane
változat: 0.995'


Ideas, anyone?

Try to run (as root) "fc-cache -fs" followed by "update-pangox-aliases".
Do you get error messages? Does this improve the situation?

If the above does not help, post the output of these three commands:

ls -l /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf

dpkg -l lib{pango,cairo}\* | awk '/^[^D|+]/{print $1,$2,$3}'

awk '/^Name:.*pango/,/^$/' /var/cache/debconf/config.dat
