I had similar symptoms once, and found out that somehow (probably through
some mistake of my own) my ~/.qt directory had been created owned by root
rather than my userID.  As soon as I chown'd the directory to the correct
userID, that Appearance -> Fonts checkbox worked as expected.

This isn't a sure fix for your problem, but it's worth looking at.

Good luck,
