Try deleting its settings file in ~/.config/Trolltech/Designer.conf
What font do you have setup in the qtconfig application? Furthermore is your Qt built from sources or taken as a binary package for your distribution?
I have the defaults, San Serif, Normal, size 10. There are no font substitutions listed. I tried changing the font but it had no affect. I also tried changing the GUI Style and the style would change, but still no menus until I tried the Oxygen style. Seems, only Oxygen will display the menu items. All other GUI styles fail to properly display the text on the menus.
It is the binary package.
Is the binary package from the same version of the distribution as your other rpms or did you download it separately from the internet?
In that case I'd suggest contacting the package maintainer and reporting the problem there. If the problem only concerns Qt Designer and not other Qt tools, then it's very unlikely it is caused by Qt or KDE itself, more probably some font(config) misconfiguration.
