[PyKDE] Converting font names to python strings

[Jeremy Sanders]

One of my users is having problems with my code. It looks like it might be 
to do with converting QStrings to Python strings if they are unicode:

The code is:

         db = qt.QFontDatabase()

         # build a dict up with the list of families
         families = {}
         for i in db.families():
             families[str(i)] = True

This gives an exception:
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position
0-6: ordinal not in range(128)

I had assumed this would just work. Am I wrong? Any ideas???

Thanks

Jeremy
